TGJU API

A production-ready API that scrapes tgju.org and exposes clean, structured data for gold and currency prices.

Built with FastAPI, HTTPX, Pydantic, background workers (Celery), Redis, and RabbitMQ.

Why it matters

Paid APIs for the same data were expensive. I built a free, reliable alternative that is actually used in production.

The service currently handles at least 10,000 requests per day.

Architecture

  • FastAPI for the public API
  • Background scraping with Celery + Celery Beat
  • Redis as the shared data store for latest prices
  • RabbitMQ as the message broker
  • Decoupled scraping from the request lifecycle for better reliability
