This project provides an efficient solution to interact with the Frankfurter API without overloading it, ensuring a smooth and responsive experience for users. By caching API responses, we minimize the frequency of requests sent to Frankfurter, balancing the load and improving performance.

• Caching Mechanism: Responses from the Frankfurter API are cached in memory. This reduces the number of requests sent to the API, preventing overload and improving response time for subsequent requests.
• Swagger UI Integration: Easily test the API endpoints through a user-friendly interface provided by Swagger UI.
• Support for Multiple Request Methods: The API can be tested using Swagger UI, Postman, or a simple curl command.

The rate in which the data changes will not that frequent, that's why 5 minutes were used as a value for the refresh rate.

• .NET SDK installed on your machine.

1. Clone this repository to your local machine.
2. Navigate to the CurrencyApp folder in your terminal.
3. Run the following command to start the project:

dotnet build
dotnet run

You can test the API using one of the following methods:

• Swagger UI: Navigate to http://localhost:5090/swagger in your browser to access the Swagger UI interface.
• Postman: Send a GET request to http://localhost:5090/api/currency/convert?from=usd&to=eur&amount=30000.
• Curl Command: Use the following curl command:

curl -X 'GET' \
  'http://localhost:5090/api/currency/convert?from=usd&to=eur&amount=30000' \
 -H 'accept: */*'

• Dockerize the Application: Containerize the application to simplify deployment and ensure consistency across different environments.

• Add Code Comments: Improve code readability and maintenance by adding comments throughout the codebase.

• Expand Testing: Create a new project within the solution that contains unit tests and integration tests to ensure code quality and reliability.
