Kahoot Proxy

To scrape currency rates, you can use various financial data sources that provide reliable and up-to-date exchange rate information. However, keep in mind that scraping financial data may be subject to the terms of service of the respective websites, and it's crucial to comply with their policies.

Here are some legitimate alternatives to scraping:

1. Use a Financial Data API: Many financial data providers offer APIs that provide real-time and historical exchange rate data. Examples include:

   • Open Exchange Rates
   • ExchangeRate-API
   • Alpha Vantage

   These services often require an API key, and they may have free and paid plans with different levels of access.

2. Central Banks and Financial Authorities: Some central banks and financial authorities publish exchange rate information on their official websites. For example, the European Central Bank (ECB) provides daily updated exchange rates.

3. Financial News Websites: Financial news websites often display live exchange rates. You can check websites like Bloomberg, Reuters, or CNBC.

Remember to always check the terms of service and licensing agreements of any data provider you choose to use. Using a legitimate API is generally more reliable and ensures that you're accessing accurate and authorized data.

Avoid scraping from websites that explicitly prohibit scraping or do not provide permission for such activities. Unauthorized scraping may violate terms of service and legal agreements.

In Perl, regular expressions (regex) are a powerful tool for parsing and manipulating text. Below is a basic example of using Perl regex to parse text. Please note that the regex patterns and the parsing logic depend on the specific structure of your text data.

Let's assume you have a simple text string with information about people, and you want to extract names and ages. Here's an example:

use strict;
use warnings;

my $text = "John Doe, age 30; Jane Smith, age 25; Bob Johnson, age 40";

# Define a regex pattern to match names and ages
my $pattern = qr/(\w+\s+\w+),\s+age\s+(\d+)/;

# Use the regex pattern to extract information
while ($text =~ /$pattern/g) {
    my $name = $1;
    my $age = $2;
    print "Name: $name, Age: $age\n";
}

In this example:

• The text contains information about people, where each entry is separated by a semicolon.

• The regex pattern (\w+\s+\w+),\s+age\s+(\d+) is used to match names and ages. Breaking down the pattern:

  • (\w+\s+\w+): Matches names consisting of one or more word characters (letters, digits, underscores) separated by whitespace.
  • ,: Matches the comma separating the name and age.
  • \s+age\s+: Matches the string "age" surrounded by whitespace.
  • (\d+): Matches one or more digits representing the age.

• The while ($text =~ /$pattern/g) loop iterates through matches found in the text.

• Inside the loop, $1 and $2 capture the matched name and age, respectively.

A proxy server passes all traffic through itself, acting as an intermediary between the user and the remote server. It is most often used to conceal the real IP, to conditionally change the user's location, or to analyze traffic (for example, when testing web applications).

You cannot use a proxy server in Outlook (for security reasons). Therefore, it is possible to organize a local proxy with traffic forwarding through the port. Or you can use third-party tools such as ProxyCap.

In Windows, proxy settings for local connections are made through the "Network and Sharing Center" (from the "Control Panel"). You need to select "Browser Properties", then go to "Connections" and click on "Network Setting". And there you can set either the script or the parameters for the proxy.
