dollars_data <- dollars_response$content$rates

## Add currency code columns
euros_data$code <- euros_response$content$code
dollars_data$code <- dollars_response$content$code
currency_data <- rbind(euros_data, dollars_data)

ggplot(currency_data, aes(x = effectiveDate, y = mid, col = code)) +
  geom_line() +
  geom_point()

Retrieve gold prices
