No response

Describe the bug

Forex API https://theforexapi.com/ is currently down, and has been for a while as shown by the Issue (149) on their github. We need an easier API alternative. Since what we need is so simple, we likely wont need a python dependency and will just need an API alternative.

If anyone would like to jump on this (ASAP) that would be appreciated. If not I can.
