ve-exchange-rates: Venezuelan Exchange Rates

Get current exchange rates for Venezuela:

1. 1. Tasa BCV - Official Central Bank rate from the BCV website
2. Tasa USDT Binance P2P - Average from P2P market
3. Brecha cambiaria - Gap between official and parallel rates

Usage

Run the wrapper script to get current rates:

CODEBLOCK0

The shell script is now a thin wrapper around a Python implementation:

CODEBLOCK1

Output

The script returns:

• - BCV official rate (Bs/USD)
• BCV source used
• BCV "Fecha Valor" extracted from the site
• Warning if the BCV date does not match the expected current run window
• Binance P2P USDT rates (buy/sell/average)
• Gap percentage between BCV and P2P
• Example conversion from 100 USD at BCV rate into USDT at P2P rate

Data Sources

• - BCV rate: scraped directly from bcv.org.ve
• BCV validation: extracts and validates Fecha Valor from the BCV page
• Fallback for BCV: exchangerate-api.com only if BCV cannot be parsed
• USDT P2P: Binance P2P API (p2p.binance.com)

Notes

• - BCV is the primary source and should be treated as the authoritative rate
• The skill warns when the BCV "Fecha Valor" does not match today or tomorrow
• P2P rates fluctuate constantly based on market conditions
• Main implementation now lives in Python for readability and easier auditing
• The shell entrypoint is only a thin wrapper that invokes INLINECODE1
• The implementation uses standard library HTTP requests and bc for decimal math formatting compatibility
• If BCV is temporarily unavailable, the skill falls back to a secondary source to preserve functionality
