Until today my Excel 2016 power query was able to obtain historical stock pricing data from the following URL https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAL/history?p=AAL. The Credential type was anonymous and the privacy level was public. I also tried using my username and password for my yahoo account in the Web Credential window with no luck. Excel returns a message that contains a 301 response.
Power query does work with Google Finance but the URL https://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=NASDAQ%3AAAL&ei=GqITWbGNIMvIebuQqXA has a parameter "ei" that makes no sense to me and I don't think I would be able to automate this.
Question; has yahoo recently changed so that this type of request is no longer viable?
Question; does anyone have VBA example of Yahoo Query Language (YQL) requesting historical stock quotes from yahoo.api?
Thanks for any help with this.
I think Yahoo changed it's API very recently. Download the file from the link titled "Get Excel Spreadsheet to Download Bulk Historical Stock Data from Google Finance"
