Testing

You can test the API using the provided test.http file in WebStorm. Each request is separated by ###. You can click on the green arrow to the left of each request to run it. Please replace localhost:3000 with your server's address and port if they are different.

Alternatively, you can use curl commands in the terminal to test the API. Here are the commands for each endpoint:

• GET /health-check:

curl -X GET http://localhost:3000/health-check

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{
  "from_currency": "EUR",
  "to_currency": "PLN",
  "amount": 123.33,
  "date": "2023-01-01"
}' http://localhost:3000/currencyExchange
