FixerIO deprecated API

[kf-nz]

The fixer.io API endpoint has been deprecated, and API keys are now required for the new one.

I was wondering if you have any plans to update this client?

Hi @aetolus,

Yes... I'm planning to update to the new endpoint. At least I'd like to update those endpoints you can use with a free API key as soon as possible.

Thanks for your interest!

Thanks @amatellanes, very helpful!

Is there an ETA on those changes? We are using this module in Home Assistant (home-assistant/core#14911).

Hi @fabaff,

I'm currently working on that in this branch. I hope to release a new version to support new Fixer endpoint this week... My initial ideal is that this new package version will support Free Plan.

[fabaff]

Awesome, thanks for the feedback.

Good idea to start with the Free plan. I guess that most people will stick to that. It's sad to see that they only support SSL/TLS for the other plans which will require additional work for all third-party tools.

Just two quick comments for your branch:

• You don't need to test this. The access/api key is now a requirement.
• It would be nice if you could add a timeout to the requests (e.g., here)

Thanks for the comments @fabaff !

My initial idea about this was using a different API Key from constructor when calling a method... but maybe I'd better remove it for simplicity's sake and perhaps add it in the future.
