Hello 👋🏻 Asking the question in the title, if it is possible to be answered. If not then it's also fine. 😁

I wanted to know, from which site/location did you pull all your currency data from? This is just to improve the validity of the data presented to me.

I found that your currscript.js does indicate that you use CoinMarketCap as your data source. Is this perhaps correct?

Previously, I use to scrape date from google and bing, but there were some stability issues. So I ended up using a stable paid API(I cannot tell the name). And I have kept the url hidden, because the url has my api keys in it.
