A basic Telegram bot to fetch currency rates and notify you for any potential gain/loss

• You will need to setup a Telegram bot. You can start from here
• I use APILayer's Exchange Rates Data API because it's free and simple, but anything goes as long as you are willing to adapt the code a bit.

This bot was made to run on AWS Lambda functions, so it's necessary to create a zip archive (sigh) to deploy the code

1. To generate an archive that can be uploaded on AWS, just run the zip.sh script.

2. Remember to setup the input data:

   {
       "from": "USD",
       "to":"EUR",
       "avg_rate":1.00000
   }

3. Choose an appropriate schedule to run the bot, like rate(1 hour)

4. ???

5. Profit!
