- **Get API Key**: Free at [alphavantage.co/support/#api-key](https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key). Replace `YOUR_API_KEY`.
- **How It Updates**: On page load, it fetches fresh data. Click "Refresh" for manual pulls. Rates update daily via the API.
- **Fallback**: If no key or API down, uses hardcoded rates (I updated them to match today's averages).
- **Limitations**: Free tier has call limits; for production, consider paid APIs like Freddie Mac or Mortgage News Daily.
- **Customization**: Add ZIP-based adjustments? Let me know—I can tweak for local rates via another endpoint.
This makes it **truly dynamic**! Test it out and ping if you hit snags.
