API is now paid | Lesson #77 - Currency Converter

[BenTechCoder]

Hey there Wes! I was completing lesson 77, the currency converter, when I got this error in my console:

To make sure I had the right endpoint I went to [https://api.ratesapi.io/latest]. Met with a can't reach this page:

So, I then went to the actual url https://api.ratesapi.io. Same result

Next I tried ratesapi.io and was redirected to: https://exchangeratesapi.io/pricing/

As you can see the current api being used is down and probably not coming back, although they do offer a free and paid keys.

Searching for alternative service and I'll probably just sign up for the free key from this one. However, it's less than ideal and should be addressed in the copy pasta.

Thanks for the course 👍 Ben
