I have tried watching tutorials on youtube and all of the tutorials use third-party API apps or API services via copying repositories on github or don't use C++ which I am finding out is not the most common for APIs. I think libcurl only works for the C language? I am not seeing that much info on libcurl for C++ I am on to reading a C++ API textbook but I am looking for something a little more streamlined.
I need to write it from scratch :)
• Notice - API requests are limited to 3 per hour.
• You do not need to fool the API to get around the cap.
• Clients should have the ability to send unlimited requests.
• Values must always be as up-to-date as possible.
• An executable Linux must be provided.
• Compiling instructions must be provided.
• C++ must be used
Here is the API https://www.live-rates.com/rates
Must have flags that allow the user to choose what value and currency to return.
For example: ./script -c “EUR/USD” -v rate
Does anyone have advice?
