get_key_statistic_data: 401 error

[The70sWoodsman]

When calling the get_key_statistics_data() method, e.g.YahooFinancials('AAPL').get_key_statistics_data(), I get a 401 error with the following message:

{
    "finance": {
        "result": null,
        "error": {
            "code": "Unauthorized",
            "description": "Invalid Crumb"
        }
    }
}

I'm running v1.2 . Other calls tested, such as get_price_history(), seem to be ok.

Same error again for me too. Worked fine a couple of times but after a few runs it does not get the crumb. Tested with the latest 1.20 and added a print out to see what was the exception, it ran for a very long time.

def _retry_create_dict_ent(self, up_ticker, statement_type, tech_type, report_name, hist_obj):
        i = 0
        while i < 250:
            try:
                out = self._create_dict_ent(up_ticker, statement_type, tech_type, report_name, hist_obj)
                return out
            except Exception as e:
                print(e)
                time.sleep(random.randint(2, 10))
                i += 1
                continue

Started to work after tying out changing in the session.py from finance.yahoo.com to fc.yahoo.com response = self._session.get( url='https://finance.yahoo.com', headers=self.user_agent_headers, proxies=proxy, timeout=timeout, allow_redirects=True)

And it's still working after changing it back, som maybe a glitch in the yahoo finance api.

That is bizarre, but I agree. I just retested and I'm getting the correct JSON back 🤷. Not a bug.
