I was looking for ways to scrape forex data after fixer.io switched to a subscription model with rate-limiting, making their API useless for lots of queries.
One alternative API which is still free is https://exchangeratesapi.io/
It's basically a drop-in replacement for fixer.io and can be used to get all forex rates in json format at

| """html_to_csv.py | |
| Prompts for a URL, displays HTML tables from that page, then converts | |
| the selected table to a csv file. | |

| import sys | |
