Fixed: Fixer.io endpoint for currency updates

[jankovandeventer]

I tested it, and it works, in our own project I used an overwrite to make sure we can keep collecting data.

Description (*)

Recently there were some changes, this is the new endpoint if anyone is also using it 💸 The platform had a few changes over the years, but I think recently an endpoint was deprecated, resulting in no more updating our currency information.

The format is the same, just the url is changed and apiKey was renamed to access_key in the params.

if I open https://api.apilayer.com/fixer/latest on the browser it seems to work, is it not working at all for you?

is there any official info about the change?

@hirale what do you mean? that the currently used address is working fine?

Reads to me that apilayer is just a wrapper around the fixer api. So no change should be required.

@jankovandeventer why did you need it? did the flexer api not work for you?

Hi there, sorry for not responding sooner. When I use the credentials with the apilayer, I get an invalid authentication warning.

But I realize my mistake, the fixer.io credentials do not work on the apilayer so I had to move the subscription over to their new platform and now it works.

Sorry to bother :-)
