Hi, Thanks for compiling this package!

I'm running through a Laravel Tutorial that uses your package (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHPcWbC62R4) but I'm running into a persistent issue.

I've tried to run the: 

Currency::convert()
        ->from('USD')
        ->to('EUR')
        ->get();

Method, but it returned 'null'. I've tried a combination of other methods, such as ->amount(40) but it yields the same result.

I cloned and installed the 'master' repo that the tutorial is based on (Repo Here: https://github.com/codewithdary/laravel-currency-converter) and it yields the same problem. I've installed all the dependencies through composer but i seem to get the same result.

I see that this package uses an API, just wanted to verify that this connection is still active?

Hi,

Maybe it's a certificate issue, try chaining the withoutVerifying() method like this:

Currency::convert()
        ->from('USD')
        ->to('EUR')
        ->withoutVerifying()
        ->get();

If this doesn't work, you always can enable throwing Exceptions to know what is exactly wrong.

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Adding withoutVerifying() has fixed it. Fantastic! Thanks very much!
