I'm using YQL to retrieve some financial data. And I have noticed that lately I'm getting different results for the same query from yahoo.finance.quotes. For example: Query for oil price done 5 times.
"LastTradeWithTime": "9:09pm - <b>38.29</b>",
"LastTradeWithTime": "1:33am - <b>38.66</b>",
"LastTradeWithTime": "2:32am - <b>38.72</b>",
"LastTradeWithTime": "2:32am - <b>38.72</b>",
"LastTradeWithTime": "9:09pm - <b>38.29</b>",
(But when you test the same query from the YQL console all results seems to be consistent.)
This behavior is really frustrating for the users (andorid app) - hit refresh button and you'll get very different results, hit it again and old results are back again. There was a similar report on yahooapis forum but it's very old. Does anyone have this issue and how to workaround it ?
