https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest requires access key

[bob-rohan]

Hi, great little util. Used this last month was fine, now getting pretty terse error.

✖ Something went wrong :(

Traced the error in source, not much of an idea. But spotted what I think must be the default API here

cash-cli/bin/cash.js

Line 19 in 022e2de

const API = config.get('apiSource') || 'https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest';

Trying to access directly receive the following error:

{ "success": false, "error": { "code": 101, "type": "missing_access_key", "info": "You have not supplied an API Access Key. [Required format: access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY]" } }

Perhaps I've missed somewhere the API Access key is provided, if not suggests the endpoint now require auth and new endpoint required.

As per #80

If you sign up for an API key at https://exchangeratesapi.io/ and in the "cash.js" modify line 19 to this:

http://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest?access_key=YOURAPIKEY

You should then be able to make api calls again. One downside is, the standard plan does not allow for https calls, only http which is concerning. I will probably be finding another currency converter to use.

But that does fix the problem.

In the meantime, the url has changed to:

http://api.exchangeratesapi.io/v1/latest?access_key=YOURACCESSKEY

So as mentioned by @arlidge, line 19 of cash.js needs to be adapted to:

const API = 'http://api.exchangeratesapi.io/v1/latest?access_key=YOURACCESSKEY';
