RatesNotAvailableError: Currency Rates Source Not Ready

[TiagONTOP]

Hello everyone,

I use this module in my trading bot and starting from today, I've been encountering an error. I noticed from the code that the issue seems to stem from the "freeforexapi" which is returning a status code different from 200. Below is the error that I'm encountering in the terminal:

[LightGBM] [Warning] feature_fraction is set=0.1, colsample_bytree=1.0 will be ignored. Current value: feature_fraction=0.1
[LightGBM] [Warning] bagging_fraction is set=0.3, subsample=1.0 will be ignored. Current value: bagging_fraction=0.3
[LightGBM] [Warning] bagging_freq is set=1, subsample_freq=0 will be ignored. Current value: bagging_freq=1

I am getting the same issue at the moment for code that was running fine yesterday. It appears that the python-forex api site is just down.
