Has sourcing quotes/downloading data from Yahoo Finance come to an end?


Recommended Posts

I tried to download Historical quotes from Yahoo Finance and they not available anymore, I'm getting "{"finance":{"result":null,"error":{"code":"unauthorized","description":"User is not logged in"}}}"error message and quotes not available even after I logged in. Does anyone else experiencing same issues?

Yahoo has changed their free access to the historical data download you could do from the online screen and are now charging for it. There is some good news, in that you can still download historical data, but the output is not in CSV. It comes over as JSON format, so you have to read and reformat that. Here is your link with the new format to continue to get historical data. You simply change "download" to "chart".

You might also look into using Yloader which is free. They also ran into the problem and quickly fixed the access so their program still works. www.yloader.com/dload

Thank you for explanation, can you please explain also how to  change "download" to "chart"? The link that you provided returns the same error even after I logged in:

"{"finance":{"result":null,"error":{"code":"forbidden","description":"User is unable to access this feature - https://bit.ly/yahoo-finance-api-feedback"}}}"

I just tried the link below and it returned the data in JSON format:

https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/chart/TSLA?period1=1695497364&period2=1727119764&interval=1d&events=history&includeAdjustedClose=true

The only difference between your original link and the one above here is that the word "download" was changed to "chart" in the new link. I left everything else the same.

You don't need to log into Yahoo. You can simply click on the link and it will return the data in JSON format.
