Kalpesh,

"YH Finance" IS how the "financeapi" method is defined in
gnc-commodity.cpp ( actually as "YH Finance (FinanceAPI)" ) and 
described in the Wiki 
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Finance::Quote_Sources_-_Individual_Sources). 
It is the source for retrieving quotes from financeapi.net.

Actually the FinanceAPI API URLs are under https://yfapi.net/, which is 
probably why the person who initially added it to the source code and 
Wiki didn't use "FinanceAPI" as the GnuCash name. Maybe to reduce 
confusion and ambiguity I will change gnc-commodity.cpp and the Wiki and 
change the GnuCash name to "FinanceAPI (YH Finance)". Possibly drop the 
reference to YH Finance altogether.
