Fix for discontinued Google API #26

Open ghost opened 6 years ago

ghost commented 6 years ago

It seems the Google API is no longer available so I've switched over to using the free API available from https://free.currencyconverterapi.com.

Note that requests are limited to 100 per hour, and values are refreshed every 30 minutes and not live. If you need something better and with more requests, you'll need to sign up to a premium subscription at https://www.currencyconverterapi.com

I found this url https://finance.google.com/bctzjpnsun/converter and it works.

@cgjosephlee Cool - who knows how long that will last though.

Edit: Until June 1st 2018, apparently.

Thanks a lot, it's working for me!

Update: March 2019. https://free.currencyconverterapi.com has moved to v6 of their API and requires an API key, though you can sign up for one for free by providing an email address.

You'll need to edit e4QuerySend.php accordingly to add your own personal API key. The same 100 requests per hour limit still apply.

Thanks @rafifyalda, I updated to v6 and added my API key, now it's working again
