DolarAPI serves Latin American exchange rates through a single endpoint

enzonotario/dolarapi.com is an API written in EsJS that returns dollar and currency quotations for several Latin American countries. It reads values from DolarHoy and exposes them through DolarApi.com.

What the API provides

The README describes an API developed in EsJS that provides the exchange rates of the different dollars and currencies in Argentina, Chile, Venezuela, Uruguay, Mexico, Bolivia, and Brazil. It works by consulting the DolarHoy page and determining the values of the various quotations. Full API documentation is hosted at DolarApi.com, so client applications can fetch current rates without scraping the source site themselves.

Who builds on top of it

The README maintains a long list of applications that consume the API. These include a DolarHoy web app, the DolarLive Chromium extension for daily official and blue rates, a Conversor ARS-USD mobile app on Google Play and the App Store, Impue-Steam for Steam price calculation, Dollargs, Dolar 3D, and a DolarBot Discord bot that reports Argentine dollar quotes. Each entry shows the API is used across web, desktop, mobile, and chat integrations.

Documentation and access

The documentation for the API lives at DolarApi.com, and the README invites maintainers of consuming apps to add their project through a pull request or an issue. The project is sponsored through GitHub Sponsors, and the author links a sponsors page in the README. New applications are added to the list as community members contribute them.

Editorial conclusion

The project is written in JavaScript and has gathered 697 stars on GitHub, with apps such as the DolarHoy web client and the DolarBot Discord bot built on top of it.
