Das hab ich auf stackoverflow gefunden:
Da wird ein user-agent im header übergeben…
thank you very much for your commitment!
Unfortunately, the problem still exists when you want to add a new security 
To add a new instrument, you can use the “empty instrument” option.

Many many thanks for your prompt assistance - it’s now working perfectly well on the older version !
It works now!! Thanks.
Still the same Error allthough I updated to the newest version
Are you sure you did, you would be the first one, or Yahoo would have done another change in the meanwhile.
Can you please double-check!

I can add new stocks but it always shows this error:
This was covered earlier in the thread. You might need to add an empty instrument and then configure it for Yahoo.

For those using Arch Linux the package maintainer has just put an update in the AUR. And it works. Many thanks.

Yes it fixes native yahoo finance request. However if one uses yahoo requests over JSON provider, the same issue persist. Could you add randomization of user agent to the JSON provider too?
Why should you do that?
Because Yahoo returns GBX but imported buy orders are in GBP, so I need to convert quoted values. And one can only do that with usage of custom JSON provider.
OK, now it makes sense.
There is a fix in the Yahoo provider that should adopt this. Use of JSON should not be needed for JSON Yahoo Finance anymore.
