Kind of just trying to keep track of my record and evaluate performance. Of course the issue we face is that stock prices move every second and maintain all that data manually is not worth it.

I ended up writing a post to help others with regards to that: Obtain stock quotes from Yahoo finance you can query them via Excel too. Just recently, a reader asked about making the query date specific. Finance does support getting historical closing prices. It is a very basic interface, so it comes with a lot of limitations. If you just want historic closing prices, then this is the place for you.

Within the limitations I have found obviously there are more but from my simple needs , I have identified these:. In order to create the web query that will provide us with historical stock closing prices, we need to supply Yahoo some information:. Now, if you click the URL: Did you notice how I used https instead of http?

Yahoo Finance supports https if you want to have your queries protected, which I recommend. Some sad news for users of Yahoo Finance to obtain free stock quotes: Yahoo has changed the way you form the URL and has made it somewhat more difficult for you to use the service. I think for most cases it is not a viable service anymore. As reported by some of the comments, now the URL requires a parameter called CRUMB which is obtained from the cookies set when establishing a session with Yahoo.

In other words, that crumb is unique to your session. Parse the HTML when you make a query using the web page: Yahoo changed their URL scheme to require an established session with cookies.

With that crumb, now you can form your download URL. Because of that, you might get an error like this:.

A reader in the comments suggested it and it seems I was able to figure out how to use the API there. There is a catch of course: If you manage to get historical prices from Yahoo please share with us via the comments section. If this works for you, check out my post: Obtain historical stock prices from Yahoo finance you can query them via Excel too Part II. This probably means that for regular users Yahoo Finance is no longer a viable option to obtain stock quotes in Excel.

My guess is that Yahoo has blocked access for the Excel client very sneaky. At this point my suggestion would be to use Google Finance. May 2, at 5: November 5, at 4: How should I modify the command in order to get EPS? February 20, at 9: How do I modify the code in order to download only the adjusted close? April 10, at 7: May 17, at 9: Clicking the URL you constructed https: But I wonder if Yahoo has permanently moved on to a completely different way of constructing its URLs. I just went to their website and to download the same AAPL data as in your example time period Jan 01, — Dec 31, , it seems like they are now using lengthy URLS like these:.

yahoo-finance : Python Package Index

May 18, at 2: Guys the Icharts link not supported by Yahoo anymore when you click the link you get the page we are working on this and we come back soon. May 20, at I am still looking around for alternatives but it seems Yahoo is making it if not impossible, very difficult to use their data via Excel.

Might I suggest migrating over to Google? You can do a query like this one: June 4, at 7: May 18, at 8: I think they shut the service down. Probably not making money from a widely use API service was the reason. May 19, at 8: I just went to their website, and to download the same AAPL data as in your example time period Jan 01, — Dec 31, , it seems like they are now using lengthy URLs like these:.

Symbol Lookup from Yahoo! Finance

May 21, at 9: This google code works. Are you able to throw it into a rough macro, please, so users can play with it as an alternative to Yahoo. May 23, at 1: May 24, at 9: However, America Movil AMX , does not work when I plug that symbol in.

It is a Mexican stock. When I go to Google finance and manually copy the link from the download to excel link it provides this:. May 24, at 8: Google uses this format: TLS to get Telstra from Australian exchange Also Google uses specific CID numbers to describe stocks.

I can not find a table of these codes but they are Stock unique. Go to Google finance Historic prices for your stock selection. Then copy the link. Also you need to change the dates on the web page and you will see a number in the link before link copy.

This is the number of history days. It appears to be limited to around 12 months for daily. Also there is no Volume data for non US stocks. May 20, at 7: I found that download. I wrote a post about it: I added this to my Excel download and I can build working URLs that download the data when I manually copy the URL to my browser.

When Excel runs the request, it fails: Unable to open url. Cannot download the information you requested. This can be solved by sorting. The column order has changed, it is now: Date Open High Low Close Adj Close Volume I may compute my own adjusted values.

Still working on the solution. Yahoo please document how we can resume this very beneficial service. May 23, at 5: Keep in mind the crumb is session specific. My guess is that they blocked any browser that identifies itself as Excel to avoid people from using their API directly from within Excel. May 27, at I have been working for years with this URL until it stopped working, first on mobile laptops, and since May 20 on my desktop. The Google site works for me, but 1 it only downloads trading days at a time about 16 years and 2 no splits and dividends, so no Adjusted Prices.

To calculate portfolio weighting, in my opinion you need more than 20 years. I usually use The old ichart site got its data from CSI, the new query see David gets its data from Reuter. I use that now and it works for me, but not in VBA. I found this site very helpful! May 25, at 7: We all need to reach out to Yahoo for this fix. May 25, at Thanks for the update! I was wondering why my application all the sudden quit working. May 28, at Then I used this value to construct the URL.

Strangely it still returns me an http When I tried it on a browser, whatever crumb value is on the page, that would be the value in the download link URL. But when I used it to construct a URL to download data programmatically, I still get an http error.

On a browser, the crumb store value is exactly the same as the one in csv download link. May 29, at I eventually got it working. First crawl the historical price page to get the crumb value, and then send the second request with the same cookie as the crawl page request, so the session is still valid and crumb is valid as well. I am doing this with Java but I think people can achieve the same with Excel I am not an expert on Excel though.

As you point out, if you access the page first and obtain the crumb, you can use that subsequently with no problems. With Excel though, I could not even access the site via the excel web browser. My guess is that Yahoo is blocking it via de use of the user agent string on the browser. May 30, at 1: When navigating the Internet Explorer to the query URL, the download window appears from which you have to determine the window handle working with SendKeys is not always reliable.

I believe in Java, Delphi, etc. You have to download the Dividends and Splits separately if you are interested in calculating the Adjusted Closes yourself. I find that an improvement over the old ichart site. I read somewhere in a related thread about calculating portfolio weighting by optimizing the Curtosis.

Can someone help me with some references? June 2, at 1: Unfortunately, the project ichart. They closed it and it seems it will not be opened.

Yahoo Finance API for Stock Quotes Changed

But I found very nice and cheap alternative: Works with CSV, no need to parse JSON and other complex things. May 31, at 3: What an example of the free market! Yahoo created a problem, for whatever reason. And eod stepped in and solved it.

Thanks also to Juan Carlos. June 4, at 4: Another guy mentioned it above — it works fine for me so I encourage others to use it as well. The details in the image will explain how to customize the URL company symbol, start and end dates, frequency — then you can automatically download the data in. Even if the URL end portion changes depending on the session — you can simply get the end part of the URL by going to the website hover the mouse over the download button so that URL will appear and update your custom URL — then you can download company data continuously.

June 7, at 6: I found a solution to the broken Yahoo Finance API here: June 8, at What I do differently is that I get the Crumb and Cookie values from https: By using this URL, you get the dividends and splits in the same WinHTTPRequest which saves you a lot of time.

For people who are interested in adjusted closes, using this URL you get the OHLC-closes only adjusted for splits, the volumes adjusted for splits, the unadjusted closes, the splits, and the dividends adjusted for splits.

For people who are not interested in speed, just use the InternetExplorer in VBA or VBS and forget about Crumbs and Cookies.
