I use forex python CurrencyRates in many of my project, but now it doesn't work, none of them. Is there any problem with my code or are the server down? or what happend?

Here is my Code:

from forex_python.converter import CurrencyRates

c = CurrencyRates()
usd = c.get_rate('EUR', 'USD')

And the error:

    from files.currency import currency

It seems like the api that the package uses is broken, I am having the same issue. Also if you go to https://api.ratesapi.io the website doesn't load.
