Implement ECBrates source for exchange rates

[mrlimacz]

This source used ECB datasets directly (daily average spot rates). As they only provide EUR as the base currency, other pairs need to be calculated as XXX -> EUR -> YYY

Sounds like a good idea; I just tested this on my end and I'm getting empty response from the ECB API you're calling. I added the following check:

    if len(response.text) == 0:
        raise ECBRatesError(f"Empty response text received")

Reason seems to be that I ran this on a day without data available (Sunday) and it takes the current date by default:

➜  ~ http GET https://data-api.ecb.europa.eu/service/data/EXR/D.USD.EUR.SP00.A startPeriod==2024-01-07 endPeriod==2024-01-07 format==jsondata detail==full --verbose

@gpoul Actually, such instances are handled. When you run bean-price with an --update flag you want to skip a particular date and proceed to the next one. Your approach would derail the whole thing, ECBRatesError would finish the execution.

I can only say that I get this error when running it unmodified from your branch:

(beancount-fava) ➜  financial git:(master) ✗ bean-price -e EUR:ecbrates/EUR-USD --update
ERROR   : Could not fetch for job: DatedPrice(base='EUR-USD', quote='EUR', date=None, sources=[PriceSource(module=<module 'beanprice.sources.ecbrates' from '/Users/gpoul/Projects/financial/beancount-fava/lib/python3.11/site-packages/beanprice/sources/ecbrates.py'>, symbol='EUR-USD', invert=False)])

If I supply a date that returns data, then yes; it works:

(beancount-fava) ➜  financial git:(master) ✗ bean-price -e EUR:ecbrates/EUR-USD -d 2024-01-26
2024-01-26 price EUR-USD                            1.0871 EUR

My expectation was that if there is no most recent price it should return the latest price it can fetch including its date, no? That's at least how I saw other modules behave so far, but maybe I'm misunderstanding how it works.

Please add a test. In adding test, be mindful of people running them in different timezones. Thank you,
