ATTENTION!! Bug Fixes on 9th July 2019

A number of fixes were implemented on 9th July 2019 to make the project features working again. Below is a breakdown:

1. NPM Audit

All packages were upgraded to their latest versions as of 9th July 2019. Hence all security vulnerabilities found in package dependencies have been patched.

2. Fixer API Endpoint

The Fixer API Endpoint now requires the API key to be appended at the end of the URL. See docs. Here is an example:

https://data.fixer.io/api/latest
    ? access_key = API_KEY

See fixer-service.js to see what has changed.

3. Currency Converter API

The Currency Converter API endpoint has changed numerous items since this project was first created. See docs. Below is a quick summary:

The new URL to be used for free access is https://free.currconv.com
The API has been upgraded from v5 to v7 : /api/v7/
An API key is now required to access the free service. Register one with your email address from this link
