Question How does the bot decide which files to update? --bjh21 (talk) 14:25, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
- At the moment, this is configured with a simple offline json file, defining the filename, the related GnuPlot script and the update period. -- Jogo.obb (talk) 05:45, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
- @Jogo.obb: Currency exchange rates can change every second as trades are executed on world currency markets. Which markets would your bot monitor, and how often? Do you have examples? — Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me 09:42, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
- The Bot will not monitor markets directly. Instead a daily updated CSV file published by European Central Bank (ECB) will be used as source. Currently daily semi-automatically updated files are File:Euro_exchange_rate_to_TRY_-_Turkish_Currency_and_Debt_Crisis_2018.svg and File:TRY_exchange_rate_to_EUR_-_Turkish_Currency_and_Debt_Crisis_2018.svg. Most other graphics will be updated with lower frequency, as supposed here. -- Jogo.obb (talk) 11:48, 27 September 2018 (UTC)
