Implement Custom Bot

Company Request

Cotalker realizes that the Ruanda Company team uses the value of the uf and dolar a lot when chatting. So, they offer them another feature: every time they want to know the daily value of those economic indicators, they only send /uf or /dollar to show it in chat.

To do that cotalker will use the api of mindicador https://mindicador.cl/ . It is an open source service that provides economic indicators for Chile in JSON format. The source of information is the Central Bank of Chile.
They also have the following indicators:

• unemployment rate
• euro
• ipc (consumer's price index)
• bitcoin
• among other
