theforexapi.com has been down for a few days now. I created a PR that switches to a new api (https://exchangerate.host) it's free as well. You can grab my branch if you need it quickly.

I'd appreciate if the API managers could confirm when the issue will be resolved?
I am also getting error: RatesNotAvailableError: Currency Rates Source Not Ready

I have the same issue, for fresh FX rates data but also for older data that should already be available

Base provider https://theforexapi.com seems to be unavailable (I get a 502 when trying to access it)

Hey @ShanePadellaro Thank you for posting this. I rather used https://exchangerate.host/#/#docs and its working absolutely fine.

Perhaps the real change here should be a configurable data source, or a fallback option on alternate data sources when the primary returns an error
