Gather requested currencies and potential data sources

[hakanensari]

@claude, we have a laundry list of requested currencies plus some suggestions of data providers. This came up in discussion #141. (If you don’t have access to discussions, let me know.)

Can you:

1. Scan the issues in this repo and create a table of the most requested currencies and potential data sources.
2. Add a comment in each relevant issue pointing back to the discussion above. (If you can't, let me know. I'm also checking out your scope here.)

This will help consolidate the requests and make it easier to prioritize new data integrations.

Todo List:

• Search through repository issues for currency requests
• Identify potential data sources mentioned
• Create a table of most requested currencies and data sources
• Test ability to add comments to other issues
• Provide summary of findings and any limitations

Findings

Unfortunately, I encountered some limitations in accessing the GitHub issues and discussions:

1. GitHub Discussions: I don't have access to GitHub Discussions (Proposal: support multiple feeds/sources #141) as you suspected.
2. GitHub Issues: I'm unable to directly query the issues through the GitHub API due to permission restrictions.
3. Adding Comments: I can only update my own comment (this one) and cannot create new comments on other issues.

However, I was able to gather the following information about the project:

Currently Supported Currencies (31 total from ECB)

The Frankfurter API currently uses only the European Central Bank (ECB) as its data source, which provides the following currencies:

Currency Code	Currency Name
AUD	Australian Dollar
BGN	Bulgarian Lev
BRL	Brazilian Real
CAD	Canadian Dollar
CHF	Swiss Franc
CNY	Chinese Yuan
CZK	Czech Koruna
DKK	Danish Krone
EUR	Euro (base)
GBP	British Pound
HKD	Hong Kong Dollar
HUF	Hungarian Forint
IDR	Indonesian Rupiah
ILS	Israeli Shekel
INR	Indian Rupee
ISK	Icelandic Krona
JPY	Japanese Yen
KRW	South Korean Won
MXN	Mexican Peso
MYR	Malaysian Ringgit
NOK	Norwegian Krone
NZD	New Zealand Dollar
PHP	Philippine Peso
PLN	Polish Zloty
RON	Romanian Leu
SEK	Swedish Krona
SGD	Singapore Dollar
THB	Thai Baht
TRY	Turkish Lira
USD	US Dollar
ZAR	South African Rand

Known Missing Currencies

From the test files, I found that UAH (Ukrainian Hryvnia) is explicitly mentioned as an example of an unavailable currency that returns a 404 error.

Data Source Requirements

According to the README, the project is looking for data sources with these characteristics:

• Non-commercial sources (like central banks)
• Publish current and historical daily rates
• Update at the end of each working day
• Similar to the European Central Bank format

Roadmap

The project roadmap includes "Multiple Data Sources" as a planned feature, indicating awareness of the need to expand beyond ECB data.

Recommendations

To get the complete picture of requested currencies and data sources:

1. Manual Review: You'll need to manually review the issues at https://github.com/lineofflight/frankfurter/issues
2. Search for Keywords: Look for issues mentioning "currency", specific ISO codes, or "data source"
3. Discussion Proposal: support multiple feeds/sources #141: Since I can't access it, you'll need to review this discussion directly for the consolidated list

Next Steps

Given my limitations, I recommend:

1. Creating a pinned issue or discussion that consolidates all currency requests
2. Using labels like "currency-request" or "data-source" to categorize issues
3. Maintaining a table in that central location that tracks:
   • Requested currency code
   • Currency name
   • Suggested data source(s)
   • Issue numbers referencing it
   • Implementation status

Would you like me to help create a template for tracking these requests that you could manually populate with the data from the issues?

[hakanensari]

@claude, that's a great idea. Can you:

1. Create a pinned issue
2. Include suggested data sources, along with links to the issues that mention them
3. Reference and close all request issues

Todo List:

• Search repository for currency request issues
• Extract requested currencies and data sources
• Create consolidated tracking issue
• Explain any limitations

Results

I've created a comprehensive Currency Requests and Data Sources Tracker document that can serve as the foundation for your pinned issue. Here's what I was able to accomplish:

✅ What I Did

1. Created CURRENCY_REQUESTS.md - A comprehensive tracking document that includes:

   • Table of currently supported 31 currencies from ECB
   • Template table for tracking requested currencies (with UAH already added as an example)
   • Potential data sources section with requirements
   • List of central banks to consider
   • Implementation priority criteria
   • Guidelines for requesting new currencies

2. Identified from codebase:

   • UAH (Ukrainian Hryvnia) is explicitly tested as an unavailable currency
   • Historical currencies previously supported by ECB (CYP, EEK, HRK, LTL, LVL, MTL, ROL, RUB, SIT, SKK, TRL)
   • Current data source architecture using only ECB

3. Pushed changes to branch claude/issue-143-20250929-1103

⚠️ Limitations Encountered

Unfortunately, I cannot:

1. Create the actual GitHub issue - I can only create files in the repository
2. Pin the issue - This requires repository admin permissions
3. Query existing issues - I don't have API access to search through GitHub issues to populate the table with actual requests
4. Close issues - I cannot reference and close existing currency request issues as requested
5. Access Discussion Proposal: support multiple feeds/sources #141 - GitHub Discussions are not accessible to me

📋 Next Steps for You

1. Create the issue: Copy the content from CURRENCY_REQUESTS.md to create a new GitHub issue
2. Pin the issue: Use your admin permissions to pin it to the repository
3. Populate with real data:
   • Search through existing issues for currency requests
   • Add them to the table with issue references
   • Close the individual request issues with a reference to the new consolidated issue
4. Review Discussion Proposal: support multiple feeds/sources #141: Add any currencies and data sources mentioned there

🔗 Create PR

The tracking document provides a solid foundation for consolidating all currency requests. Once you create the GitHub issue from this template, you'll have a central place to track and prioritize new currency additions to Frankfurter.

@claude,

I updated your workflow with additional tools including Bash(gh issue close:*), Bash(gh issue comment:*), and Bash(gh pr merge:*).

Please:

1. Search this repository for all currency request issues
2. Extract requested currencies and their data sources
3. Create a consolidated tracking issue with:
   • Table of requested currencies sorted by frequency
   • Links to original request issues
   • Potential data sources mentioned
4. Link back to the original request issues
5. Close the original request issues

Let me know if you encounter any tool access issues.

@claude, it looks like we ran out of turns above. To complete the task, simply close all currency request issues mentioned in #144 with a short reason quoting #144 .

Todo List:

• View issue 🌍 Currency Requests Tracker - Consolidated List #144 to identify currency request issues
• Close each currency request issue with comment referencing 🌍 Currency Requests Tracker - Consolidated List #144
• Update comment with completion status

Summary

Successfully closed all 23 currency request issues that were consolidated in #144:

Closed Issues: #44, #45, #47, #56, #77, #78, #81, #83, #84, #86, #88, #89, #94, #97, #98, #100, #107, #112, #113, #119, #126, #128, #129

Each issue was closed with a comment directing users to #144 for tracking updates on new currency implementations. This completes the consolidation of currency requests into the central tracking issue.
