Federal Office for Customs and Border Security FOCBS Daily rates (exchange rates) as an API
This small project was used to demonstrate the use of Cloudflare workers as part of a quick and easy API implementation. The (real) example provides exchange rate data from the Swiss Federal Customs Office. The data is published as an xml once a day, which we transformed into a REST API
Federal Office for Customs and Border Security FOCBS
Periodically extract data from the federal site, transform it, and store each element in a Cloudflare key/value store.
