url https://api.exchangeratesapi.io/latest API now requires access code. see response.text message below. '{\n "success": false,\n "error": {\n "code": 101,\n "type": "missing_access_key",\n "info": "You have not supplied an API Access Key. [Required format: access_key=YOUR_ACCESS_KEY]"\n }\n}\n'

This is obviously an old post but I just got the same when I was working through this class yesterday. Short answer is this course needs to be updated. But until it is: There's another post where someone has shared some APIs that are free to use without an API key - that's one option https://learn.365datascience.com/question/i-ve-found-some-api-s-that-doesn-t-require-authorization-to-use/ or, I did get this site working so I could follow along with the class as follows: 1. registering a free account at https://apilayer.com to get an API key 2. Then in the Jupyter notebook, add a dict with your API key headers= { "apikey": "yourAPIkeyhere" } 3. The site base URL has also changed - base_url = "https://api.apilayer.com/exchangerates_data/latest" 4. request format is response = requests.get(base_url, headers=headers)
