Description: # AbstractAPI python-exchange-rates library
        
        Integrate the powerful [Exchange Rates API from Abstract](https://www.abstractapi.com/exchange-rate-api) in your Python project in a few lines of code.
        
        The Exchange Rate API is an REST API that allows you to:
        
        - look up the latest exchange rates for 80+ currencies via the *live* endpoint
        - get historical exchange rates using the *historical* endpoint
        - convert an arbitrary amount from one currency to another using the *convert* endpoint
        
        It's very simple to use: you only need to submit your API key and a currency symbol (such as "USD"), and the API will respond with current exchange rate, historical data, or convertion rates.
