import qualified Network.Bitcoin.BitX as BitX
import Data.Text (unpack)
import Network.HTTP.Types.Status (Status(..))
import Network.HTTP.Conduit (responseStatus)

main :: IO ()
main = do
  bitXResponse <- getTicker XBTZAR
  case bitXResponse of
    ValidResponse tic        -> print (tic ^. BitX.ask)
    ErrorResponse err        ->
        error $ "BitX error received: \"" ++ unpack (err ^. BitX.error) ++ "\""
