05/27/2021, 10:47 PMHi, I'm running AirByte on MacOS. The app comes up OK, But when I try the Exchange Rate API in the UI and fill in the data, the UI tells me that the check failed and the APIs response was 400? But I used my API key and went directly the the API and it works.

@Miles Poindexter
the root issue is that the free tier of exchangerates doesn’t support specifying a currency (i think they give you euro or USD data by default). The cosmetic issue is the connector does not surface a good error message.
created an issue to make this error message clearer: https://github.com/airbytehq/airbyte/issues/3677
