Yahoo is down

Yahoo historical data is no longer available. Is there an alternative?

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

I obtain quotes from Yahoo Finance and when I attempted an update earlier, I was a bit perplexed as the latest prices didn’t appear to be provided. Had a quick check of a few stocks and funds on Yahoo’s site - from what I can tell there’s now a requirement to login to view historical data. Here’s a thread on Reddit where someone comments it will now cost c. $500/year to have a Premium membership in order to access this!! Hopefully there’s a work around to this… In the meantime I was just wonde…

While I agree that someone should do a quick search if the topic you’re going to create already exists, I have to say that PP’s forum-search isn’t very good. When entering “Yahoo” into the quick search, the results are from 2017 to 2020 and don’t contain the thread you’ve linked to. You have to click on “More” to actually see it. I’m not sure what criterias are used to decide which posts are relevant but “most recently” obviously isn’t one of them.

The search when creating a new post isn’t much better. I’ve created a new thread with the title “Yahoo is down” and this is what comes up as “similar”:

There is a “sort by” option which includes sorting by most recent post.

There is a “sort by” option

Not as part of the “quick-search”-result:

“most recent” is the default-setting “here” (not sure if it remembers my last decision or if this is a general default), so as soon as I click on “more” I can see your post immediately.
