Free, open exchange rate API for Costa Rica — powered by BCCR. No sign-up, no token, ready to use.

**Live server → `https://ticorates.dev` — free for everyone, no API key required.**

## How it works

1. **Request** — you call any endpoint with a date and currency code.
2. **Cache check** — if the rate is already in the database, it's returned instantly.
3. **BCCR fetch** — on a cache miss, rates are fetched from Banco Central de Costa Rica in real time.
4. **Store & serve** — the result is cached in SQLite for all future requests to the same date.

Historical dates are served from cache after the first request. Concurrent requests for the same date are deduplicated — only one BCCR call is made regardless of how many clients ask simultaneously.

## Try it now

No installation. No registration. Paste and run:

```bash
# Today's USD rate
curl "https://ticorates.dev/rates/latest?currency=USD"
