URL Issue retrieving data quotes in Yahoo finance

Question

The URL from Yahoo is not working when I try to retrieve quotes from a particular stock. There are several discussion about it, However, it seems nothing is shown regarding VBA macro

Sub Get_Data()
Dim URL As String
Dim Ticker As String
Dim http As New WinHttpRequest
Dim sCotes As String
Dim Lignes
Dim Valeurs
Dim i As Long
Dim j As Long
Dim sLigne As String
Dim sValeur As String

Ticker = Range("Ticker")

URL = "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/TECK?period1=1540456339&period2=1571992339&interval=1d&events=history&crumb=kjOZLFv6ch2"
http.Send
sCotes = http.ResponseText

MsgBox sCotes

Lignes = Split(sCotes, Chr(10))
For i = 1 To UBound(Lignes) 'until the end of the Lignes variable
  sLigne = Lignes(i)
  Valeurs = Split(sLigne, ",")
  For j = 0 To UBound(Valeurs) - 1
  Select Case j
  Case 0
  sValeur = DateSerial(CLng(Left(Valeurs(0), 4)), CLng(Mid(Valeurs(0), 6, 2)), CLng(Right(Valeurs(0), 2)))
  Case 5
  sValeur = CLng(Valeurs(5))
  Case Else
  sValeur = CDbl(Replace(Valeurs(j), ".", ","))
  End Select
  Range("A1").Offset(i, j) = sValeur
  Application.StatusBar = Format(Cells(i, 1), "Short Date")
  Next
Next
Application.StatusBar = False

End Sub

Execution error at the step Http.send : "This method cannot be called until the Open method has been called"

Answer 1

Try replacing this code

URL = "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/TECK?period1=1540456339&period2=1571992339&interval=1d&events=history&crumb=kjOZLFv6ch2"
http.Send

with this code:

set http = Server.Createobject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.6.0")
URL = "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/TECK?period1=1540456339&period2=1571992339&interval=1d&events=history&crumb=kjOZLFv6ch2"
http.open "POST", URL, False
http.Send

The error is pretty clear: you need to call the open method before the Send method. Also this would be a POST request. You also may need to put these two lines after the open method:

http.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 
http.setRequestHeader "Content-Length", 0
