# Frankfurter
[![Build](https://github.com/hakanensari/frankfurter/workflows/build/badge.svg)](https://github.com/hakanensari/frankfurter/actions)
[Frankfurter](https://frankfurter.dev) is a free and open-source currency data API that tracks reference exchange rates published by the European Central Bank.
`api.frankfurter.app` hosts a public instance of the API.
## Getting Started

```http
https://api.frankfurter.app/2010-01-01..2010-01-31
```
## Deployment
You can self-host Frankfurter with Docker.
```bash
docker run -d -p 8080:8080 \
-e "DATABASE_URL=<postgres_url>" \
--name frankfurter hakanensari/frankfurter
```
Alternatively, copy the [docker-compose.yml](./docker-compose.yml) file to your system, and in the same directory run:
```bash
docker compose up --wait
```
This will also setup and host the PostgreSQL for Frankfurter.
