Yahoo YQL yahoo.finance.historicaldata returning empty results


I have developed and tested with the this API last week. Today I am noticing I am not receiving any results even from the sample query.

Anyone else experiencing this?


Solution

  • Unfortunately Yahoo! decided to discontinue their historical data API :-(

    Hi All - This feature was discontinued by the Finance team and they will not be reintroducing that functionality.
