Usage

If you use it in your controller, use the Facade of the package like

use Subdesign\Valutabank\Facade\Valutabank;

then

$result = Valutabank::get();

or you can add a backslash to the facade

$result = \Valutabank::get();

Dependency

The package uses anlutro/php-curl for optionally replace file_get_contents() in the code, if the latter is disabled in your server for some reason.
