Hi, I am trying to get only stocks tickers passing the arg stocks to the command line however looking at the code it seems only generic(all) is available, is this expected?

Thanks

Yes, unfortunaly there was a change in the Yahoo API. Rendering it impossible to get only stocks.

There is currently no known way on how to work around this change.
