I've been using FinanceAPI for almost all my securities for some time.
It was not affected. That would almost be the same as Yahoo's Finance
web page should have had issues since in the background it utilizes the
same API queries. At least FinanceAPI (https://yfapi.net) worked at
13:30 PDT yesterday (06/12) when my cron job fires off for the daily update.
