Re: Is Yahoo! Finance API broken?
Hi All - I'm blocking new replies to this thread since it refers to an older outage.
The new download issue which began 11/01/17 and returning an error 999 for most users is currently being investigated...
In the trial I downloaded, I specified 2 tickers, and run the download from Google. I need to download on each respective ticker to get the associated CSV for it, but would like a single consolidated CSV with data from each ticker in it (that is, one row per ticker). Not sure if the...
So, I downloaded AmiQuote to test, and can download from Google EOD (Yahoo broken obviously), and there appears to be no way to generate a single CSV with EOD data from a list of tickers. Anyone know if the ability to do this magically appears upon license purchase?
Anyone know if there is an undocumented GOOGLE equivalent to the following, that generates a CSV for multiple tickers in one shot:
https://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=SPY+DIA&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv
Appreciate all the philosophy on this thread, but hear no recommendations on alternate sources of data (either free or paid) that could replace my original post.
And shame on Yahoo! for not having the decency to at least post a message indicating that the service is shut down, as opposed to a...
Since Yahoo terminated their API back in the May/June time frame, I was still able to get web-based data to download into EXCEL from a query such as:
https://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=SPY+DIA&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv
The above web query would yield:

SteveM, thanks for your counterpoint on point # 3; make sense.
After I posted this, there was a NEW HEADLINE that hit the wire; Jeff Flake saying that he won't run for re-election, and providing a rather scathing portrayal of Trump's behavior (which I agree with, btw). Given Corker's and...
As an Independent, I'm looking at the big reasons why this stock market has accelerated rapidly since Trump was elected:
1) The promise of much lower corporate tax rates;
2) Continuation of a low-interest environment;
3) Companies lean and mean, continuing to grind out increased profits, Q...
By the way, there are 2 ways to import ASCII into WL3:
1) You can create a new Data Source (ASCII Files), and import that way. However, the files are stored in text format, and speed is definitely an issue, if you have large datasets;
2) If you go to the "Data Editor" function in Data Source...
Eugene is still there, and I believe will issue new codes for new machines, but WL3 only runs on XP and below. Eugene will not answer support questions on WL3 - I've tried - and is pretty gagged on proprietary stuff by Fidelity. What's really unfortunate is that the old Wealthlab support...
Option Attack,
Here are some additional findings which may be of interest to you:
My WL3 license is licensed on a Windows 2000 SP4 machine and on a Windows XP SP3 machine. I discovered that for existing Datasources ONLY, the Daily Update function actually still works on the XP machine, but not...
Yeah, thanks, that is another option I also thought about, but it would be clunky to automate (unless I'm just using a few symbols, as you suggest), and speed of processing large ASCII sets definitely suffers vs. using native WL binary data. Thanks for throwing that out as a possible solution.
OK, thanks for the information, I appreciate it. I may look at TC2000 if and when I wave the white flag, but I want to look at 2 alternatives first: 1) Getting my hands on the .WL binary file format, and then build an interface (probably outside of WL) that gets EOD from Yahoo or Google, and...
Option Attack,
Thanks for your reply, and I'm a bit intrigued. So, I tried to create a new WL3 data source that was native TC2000, and I get an error that says, "TC2000 Initialization Err: Invalid Class String". Does installing TC2000 somehow fix this issue on data source creation, or do you...
Thanks for your suggestion, but I'm trying to retain the functionality of Wealth-Lab 3 environment. Having to load EOD data on a daily basis is too much of a headache for me. If I can obtain the binary file format of WL3 data files, I can programatically build an interface to alternate Yahoo...
Hi all,
Real shot in the dark here.....
With Yahoo API being shut down last month, my ability to get Daily data updates via WL3 ( yes, old software) came to a crashing halt.
I'm looking to build my own data adapters for WL3 but I'm in need of the binary record layout for their underlying .WL...
Food, Taxes, Insurance Costs, Tuition, Electric, Medical Costs, etc., up at least 6% year-over-year here in NY. We have no inflation........what a scam! The CPI is a manipulated measure used by manipulating governing bodies for their own agendas.
