File "C:\Python36\lib\site-packages\forex_python\converter.py", line 73, in get_rate

I am having the same problem.Is it something wrong with the api?

[ghost]

My problem was fixed by directly install a new version from the git

Try this
pip install git+https://github.com/MicroPyramid/forex-python.git

You have to change source url to "https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/api/" in converter.py

Same from here!! "Currency Rates Source Not Ready"

Was this issue ever resolved?

[zaini]

It seems to be working for me. Can you share the specifics of your problem, or is it identical to the OP?

[ben-dent]

I found that the reason it wasn't working for me is that the currency wasn't supported by the API. Would there be a possibility of a separate error message for that?

Same issue is coming to me.
{'Error': 'forex_python.converter.RatesNotAvailableError: Currency Rates Source Not Ready'}
Could you please suggest on how to resolve it?

Currently working on version 1.5

I checked with c.get_rates('USD') to make sure the codes i was entering were still valid, and they were, but no matter what country codes I enter i get this error each time.

You made too many call to the API called by the forex lib. you need to implement retry mechanism with a time.sleep, optimize function so it doesn't make too many calls in a short amount of time and/or try with another IP I belive.

I'm running the latest version of forex-python (just forked it - 1.5) and I have the same problem with the 'LKR' currency code. However, I didn't get any error with the other currency codes I tested.

Bad News: I just checked the status of the RatesAPI server at https://stats.uptimerobot.com/p8KZgsZ6J.
The status is: Rates API - ALL SYSTEMS DOWN (the uppercase is on me).

[ghost]

I just send messages to the support team. Let's see.

[ravigadila]

We changed api to theforexapi.com
It works now. Please try.

I am getting the error on 1.8. Is the website down?

[MailysRbt]

Same here, it's probably down again.
