Bug ID: 463245
Summary: Exchange rates converter no longer works
Classification: Applications
Product: skrooge
Version: unspecified
Platform: Archlinux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: guillaume.deb...@gmail.com
Reporter: n.felt...@mailbox.org
CC: steph...@mankowski.fr
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The exchange rates source `exchangeratesapi.io` no longer works, i.e. it no
longer allows creation of API keys for new subscribers, redirecting instead to
`https://apilayer.com`. The APIs there are not fully compatible with the
original ones.
This means that new users (without API keys for the old service) cannot
successfully setup rate conversion for multiple currencies.
The problem is made worse by the fact that all other exchange rates sources
seem to be equally broken (or worse).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Try use the `exchangeratesapi.io` plugin with a key from `apilayer.com`
2. Hit "Download" button
3. Error message appears "[ERR-5]: Download failed"
OBSERVED RESULT
An error message appears stating that download was not possible
EXPECTED RESULT
Exchange rates are being downloaded and used within the program

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
