[GNC] Problems getting prices from Yahoo as JSON

[Klaus Dahlke]

Same here:
I installed finance-quote via 'cpanm Finance::Quote' on Arch Linux. Package was downloaded, installation was only successful with the --force option


The first try run into an early error:
$ ./stockdump.pl yahoo_json PJS1.DE
$VAR1 = {$crumb =
          'PJS1.DEsuccess' => 0,
          'PJS1.DEerrormsg' => 'Error accessing query2.finance.yahoo.com/v1/test/getcrumb: '
        };

Accessing the URL in line 136 in YahooJSON.pm with a web browser produced as result 'EXqqcFK8sVB'. This, I commented the lines 136 to 144 and inserted 'my $crumb = 'EXqqcFK8sVB';

But overcoming this hurdle still lead to a successful retrievel:

$ ./stockdump.pl yahoo_json PJS1.DE
$VAR1 = {
          'PJS1.DEsymbol' => 'PJS1.DE',
          'PJS1.DEsuccess' => 0,
          'PJS1.DEerrormsg' => 'Error retrieving quote for PJS1.DE. Attempt to fetch the URL https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v11/finance/quoteSummary/?symbols=PJS1.DE&crumb=EXqqcFK8sVB&modules=price,summaryDetail,defaultKeyStatistics resulted in HTTP response 429 (Too Many Requests)'
        };

Also incrementing the interface version to v12 or v13 produces the same error.

Best regards
Klaus
