The plugin performs a plain, unauthenticated HTTP GET request to <code>https:\/\/dolarapi.com\/v1\/dolares\/blue<\/code> to retrieve the current buy\/sell rate.<\/li>\n<li>When it is sent: whenever the cached rate has expired (the cache duration is configurable in the plugin's settings, 20 minutes by default) and a page where the bubble or the shortcode is used is visited.<\/li>\n<li>Response caching: the response is cached using WordPress transients to avoid querying the API on every page load.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>This service is provided by DolarAPI.com (an open-source project): <a href=\"https:\/\/dolarapi.com\/docs\/legal\">Legal notice \/ Terms<\/a>.
