Response showing old date

[DeepFriedPotato]

When querying [https://api.exchangerate.host/latest?base=USD], sometimes I get a response with a date several days old. For example, it's May 27 today, and I'm getting 2021-05-18 in the "date" field. This happens some of the times, on some devices. Removing "?base=USD" fixes the issue.

@DeepFriedPotato hm, you can try to add an additional parameter &v=<actual_date> in the query, where <actual_date> enter the day in the format for example Y-m-d (or you can add only hour value)

I noticed that simply using [https://api.exchangerate.host/latest?base=USD&v=] fixes the problem. I'm a little bit wary of using this because it's not documented, and seems like a workaround. Are there plans to fix the bug? Thank you so much for providing the free service!
