Fetches historical USD-EUR exchange rates from ECB's official data.

Usage

fetch-rates [YEAR] - Gets daily rates for specified year (default: 2025)

How it works

Downloads ECB's complete historical XML (eurofxref-hist.xml)
Extracts USD rates for each day
Saves to valuuttakurssit_YYYY.csv with columns:
- date (DD.MM.YYYY format)
- rate (USD per 1 EUR, ECB standard)

Conversion Guide

USD → EUR: Divide USD amount by rate EUR → USD: Multiply EUR amount by rate

Example: 1000 USD at rate 1.1668 = 1000 / 1.1668 = 857.04 EUR

Note: ECB rates are expressed as USD per 1 EUR. When converting:

If you have USD and want EUR: divide by rate
If you have EUR and want USD: multiply by rate
