Yes - did they remove this service ?

I am also having the same issue. I am checking here for the status, but not sure if this is the actual API being used: https://stats.uptimerobot.com/p8KZgsZ6J

API is working, website is up, issue has been resolved.

Same goes for #100

Update: Oops, it is down again. Worked for some hours before noon GMT+3.

Update: GMT +3 16:26, service is working for anyone wondering.

Update: 16:57, just checked on it and it was down. It seems it's still not stable.

Update: It has been working since around 9-10 A.M., 28.09.2022.

The website theforexapi.com has been down for a while now.
Is it a permanent issue or something temporary?

[vibhu-trgt]

The issue is blocking issue and not related to code but infra as the "theforexapi.com" is down.
As the project doesn't seem to be maintained, do we have any alternate to this awesome currency exchange library ?
