[GNC] Yahoo Closed the Door on Finance API

[WR D]

Thanks for this - the yahooweb source worked for retrieving crypto-AUD exchange rates too.

Regards,
Bill

The latest release of F::Q (1.57) contains a new YahooWeb module that still works, at least for my selection of European ETFs. Install that release if you haven't done so already, go to Tools > Security Editor, edit your security, change 'Type of source quote' to 'Unknown', and select 'yahooweb' from the dropdown list.

Sincerely,
B

Any suggestions as to what would be the next best currently available source in F::Q for a broad spectrum of securities, especially European stocks?

----------

Some of us suspected this would come, getting reports of the Yahoo URLhttps://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v11/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=price,summaryDetail,defaultKeyStatistics
andhttps://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=price,summaryDetail,defaultKeyStatistics  now returning a 404 (v11) or "Unauthorized" (v10).

Sorry to say this, but more than likely the YahooJSON module (aka yahoo_json) is going to be removed from Finance::Quote in the next release. This is not to say that if someone can figure out a way to successfully access Yahoo'shttps://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v?... APIs, please pass on that info or better yet, have a go at reworking the current module.

There is already an issue raised on F::Q's GitHub,https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/318. Please refrain from "me too" comments. Unfortunately as I said in the previous paragraph, this issue will likely be resolved by removing the module.
