Its not showing anything for today i.e. 18 JAN, Is there anything wrong or not working i am running version 1.0.0 (10000) on version 4.4 of IPS. 

Confirmed. The site that provides the API isn't returning data:http://history.muffinlabs.com/date

Let's wait a few more days to see if goes live again. Anyway:

IMPORTANT NOTES:

• ONLY ENGLISH IS SUPPORTED IN THIS WIDGET
• Support will be provided while the API is available and functional, otherwise the resource will be dropped from Marketplace.

 

 

Also how does it get data is it possible to set a timezone and get data accordingly.

No, the API provides data only for the current date.

So it's just scrapping Wikipedia to information. i can create something similar too.

Would it be possible to switch to another API somehow ? http://history.muffinlabs.com/date/1/18

And possibly add an option of timezone in setting and make request according to that.

 

http://history.muffinlabs.com/date/1/18

It seems they changed the URL. I’ll make some tests and update the file if required.

Probably but I won’t waste much time in a 10 bucks plugin (without renewal), sorry. It will remain as it is.

I don’t know; I don’t have access to the API itself. I just make a request to the URL provided.
