Yahoo Finance Crumb #3

Closed dph10 closed 3 years ago

dph10 commented 4 years ago

Hi, I have been using your getMarketDataViaYahoo function for several months now and it had been working reliably. This week I started having issues with the function for certain ticker symbols such as: ILTB, MUR, CLDR, VBR, VOOG, just to name a few. About 80% of the symbols I check work fine, but some symbols (such as those listed above) will no longer work, though they are valid assets at yahoo finance.

I think the problem is occurring somewhere around lines 71-79 where your code is trying to extract the crumb value. It is not finding a valid location of the regexp looking for the crumb, and I get the error from line 76.

Are you or anyone else experiencing similar issues, or can you confirm if you have a problem with your function with the symbols I listed above? Thanks! I am using Matlab 2020a.

Thanks for pointing this out. Yahoo does not require to have the crumb value anymore.

Now the code will continue even if the value is missing. I've checked on a couple of tickers and it seems to work.

This issue was fixed summer 2020.
