''''
This is an helper class to the Chilean economic indicator http://mindicador.cl/
using the awesome requests library you can get uf, ivp, dolar, etc.

a simple example:

>> m = Mindicador()
>> m = m.get_uf()
>> uf
{'fecha': '2017-07-23T04:00:00.000Z', 'nombre': 'Unidad de fomento (UF)', 'codigo': 'uf',
'unidad_medida': 'Pesos', 'valor': 26624.85}

The above response is returned as a json ready object; you can use the object the following way:

>> for ufs in uf:
      print(ufs, ':', uf.get(ufs))

fecha : 2017-07-23T04:00:00.000Z
nombre : Unidad de fomento (UF)
codigo : uf
unidad_medida : Pesos
valor : 26624.85

Note: Some if not most of the words in the responses are in Spanish(Chilean).
