Yahoo API not working

yahoo decided to restrict the access to their v8 quote API

east money also doesn't seem to work? are you gonna add a alternative option?

[bionicdude]

Hopefully we can move to an alternative provider. i didn't realise how much i would miss not having this in my notification bar..

Another project I use (and which is R based) switched to JSON endpoint recently. That still works, There are/were two endpoints, v6 and v7 and the v6 one I understand is off now / had GDPR issues in Europe.

Full discussion (with many comments and links to other implementation in other languages) is at https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/382

I also noticed the Yahoo website currently uses the v8/finance/chart endpoint, and the response includes both historical and current market prices. It is also unauthenticated.

https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/ETH-USD?region=CA&lang=en-CA&includePrePost=false&interval=2m&useYfid=true&range=1d&corsDomain=ca.finance.yahoo.com&.tsrc=finance

Otherwise, it seems the endpoints currently used by this repo only really need a cookie from Yahoo -- or "crumb" -- which can be easily obtained however I'm not sure how ethical / convoluted that would be.

Edit: I'd be happy to open a PR if we're OK moving to the v8/finance/chart endpoint. It would require changing a constant and a DTO mapper.

@Cubuss highly regarded portfolio =)

@rykdesjardins oddly, the charts endpoint was and is still working for me, it uses the v10 ...

@eddelbuettel thanks for the hint, i changed the quote endpoint, would be great if someone could test it too

I'd love but I am too much of a newb when it comes to gnome-extensions. Nearly 30 years of Linux but this is a wee bit outside my depth. Hint?

(I unzip'ed, I tried to enable, no mas.)

drop the folder in /home/yourusernamehere/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and rename the folder to stocks@infinicode.dethen restart gnome or reboot

@Cubuss

As far as I can see, the new versions of this extension support gnome 43 and 44. I am using Ubuntu 22.04 LTS with Gnome 42. Is there a chance that this will work, or do I have to manually add a patch to the latest compatible version ?

[cinatic]

@piorkov what extension version do you use?

[eddelbuettel]

drop the folder in /home/yourusernamehere/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions and rename the folder to stocks@infinicode.de

Yes did all that and fiddled with the browser-based control as well as with gnome-extension

then restart gnome or reboot

No chance I reboot and I loathe rearranging all my desktop sessions. Now I remember I save a script for this it has busctl --user call org.gnome.Shell /org/gnome/Shell org.gnome.Shell Eval s 'Meta.restart("Restarting...")' which didn't work now (don't you love how Gnome changes this every couple of months?) but it also had (commented out) killall -HUP gnome-shell and that did the job.

Back in business. Amazeballs. Thanks so much! Glad the hint was helpful.

[piorkov]

@cinatic version 24, Based on https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1422/stocks-extension/ is the last compatible version for gnome 42

[cinatic]

i tried to upload a 42 version but i am too stupid now to understand how the versioning exactly works when targeting divergent shell versions.

this should work for 42 stocks-extension.zip

[brent80]

extension version 24 gnome version 42.5 I switched to eastmoney and it seems to be working for me example

[piorkov]

@cinatic you forgot to add in this zip this object: createQuoteSummaryFromYahooDataV6 I had to bump up the versions to 25 because it's now 23 there and it's trying to update me to the official version 24 after these changes it works for me :)

Fixed version: stocks@infinicode.de.zip

@brent80 I tried to use this for INTC but it didn't work for me :( hmm, I guess I don't know how to use estmoney

[brent80]

@piorkov That worked for me, you have to look them up kinda difficult at https://www.eastmoney.com And find the correct link

[piorkov]

@brent80, you are right eastmoney also works, but yahoo works better for me

[lon9man]

@cinatic i replaced gnome-extension folder with stocks@infinicode.de.zip

OS Ubuntu 20.04 it started work, but when i press gear-icon it shows error

6224abf https://github.com/cinatic/stocks-extension/releases/download/v31/stocks-extension.zip

this version was downloaded and appears to be working here in USA : Fedora 38

[cinatic]

eastmoney also works for me (except charts, but this is a different case) so everything should be okay now, thanks everybody

@lon9man this is probably a gnome-shell version miscompatiblity, which shell version do you have?, if 42 you can try the version @piorkov provided otherwise you would need to patch it yourself

[bionicdude]

I'm in gnome 42.9 and tried piorkov's zip. Seems to work ok for me..

[christopher-henderson]

+1 to the zip uploaded by @piorkov working on Ubuntu 22. Thank you!

[lukibeni]

The uploaded zip by @piorkov (thanks!) working for me on Ubuntu 20.04, but I also get error when try to open settings. @cinatic When should I expect a working version from extensions.gnome.org?

[piorkov]

@lukibeni What kind of error are you observing, gnome-shell extensions-perf command not found? In my case it is just this command not found , but as WA I can enter the settings using gnome extension manager.

I suspect that the new version for gnome 42 will not appear on extensions.gnome.org, but I hope I'm wrong

[lukibeni]

@piorkov this si the error I got, same from the settings button of the overlay and from the Gnome Tweak Tools settings:

Error: Requiring Adw, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'Adw' (any version) not found

[piorkov]

@lukibeni Ubuntu 20.04 by default has GNOME 3.36. I assume that your problem may be related to the fact that this extension does not support such an old gnome so the Adw library is missing. The same problem on Ubuntu 20.04 has @lon9man

[lon9man]

@lukibeni i updated version for Ubuntu 20.04 you can try it here: stocks-extension-19.1.zip

[lukibeni]

Thanks @lon9man, but this version doesn't works for me at all :( I copied the stocks@infinicode.de folder to ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions, but the Gnome Tweak app shows an error for me, and the settings page shows this error (No such file or folder):

[lon9man]

@lukibeni i added gschemas.compiled into repository. please re-download stocks-extension-19.1.zip and repeat test

[lukibeni]

@lon9man thanks, it works now!

[cesaric]

@lon9man, works on gnome 42. Updated metadata.json (so that extensions wouldn't prompt me to update it) Thanks!:

You are a beautiful human being!!! Thank you!

[techconsulter]

@lon9man Thx works again

[ashes00]

This is a wonderful extension, and I have been following this thread for 3 weeks after the Yahoo API change. I see some are saying its working, however I still have a broken extension. Should the ext not auto update with any changes, or are the fixes still in testing? Thanks in advance to all that work on this project!
~ Ash

[lon9man]

@ashes00 You should detect Gnome version you are using.

If 42 (Ubuntu 22.04) - then piorkov version should work. If 3.36 (Ubuntu 20.04) - then lon9man version should work.

I am not sure that you can easily update version using site extensions.gnome.org, but you can do it manually.

Take chosen version from github and replace folder in /home/yourusernamehere/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions with appropriate part of sources

[ashes00]

@lon9man Thanks for the heads up. Apparently I grabbed the wrong .zip last time. I was able to use the piorkov version .zip, and its working perfectly. Thank you so very much!

[TalZiv]

Hi,

I have downloaded @piorkov fixed version https://github.com/cinatic/stocks-extension/issues/88#issuecomment-1636111871, But I still get unauthorized with Yahoo and EastMoney.

The graph works but not the numbers.

I am using PopOs 22.04 with Gnome 42.5

Any help would be appriciated.

[Eric-Bwr]

@TalZiv I have the same issue.

Is there any good other provider we could use?

[tsilvs]

Maybe an alternative implementation would work?

[cinatic]

@stieg created a backport for Gnome Shell 42.x , the package can be found here: https://github.com/cinatic/stocks-extension/releases/tag/v24.1

[dal00]

It is broken again for me. Anybody else seeing this?

[cinatic]

It is, with the next version it's implemented a bit different https://github.com/cinatic/stocks-extension/pull/92/commits/61a67962524d47f8f0b7448dee0780daf54560c3

[eljefe6a]

@cinatic I just installed v32, and it's still hitting the Yahoo v6 API. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still no joy.

[dal00]

@cinatic I just installed v32, and it's still hitting the Yahoo v6 API. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Still no joy.

But the next version which is linked by @cinatic is v33

[cinatic]

i prepared packages for older gnome-shell versions containing the new api handling:

https://github.com/cinatic/stocks-extension/releases/tag/v24.2-GS42 https://github.com/cinatic/stocks-extension/releases/tag/v32-GS43_44

the latest version for GS45 is https://github.com/cinatic/stocks-extension/releases/tag/v33 which is except a format fix the same as v32. Just make sure you have the right version installed (v32 or v33)

[eddelbuettel]

Git pull'ed, and copied from the 43_44 branch, but now get run-time error:

GLib.FileError: Failed to open file “/home/edd/.local/share/gnome- shell/extensions/stocks@infinicode.de/schemas/gschemas.compiled”: open() failed: No such file or directory

I am on Ubuntu 23.04 with GS 44.

[stieg]

Same issue with v24.2-GS42 branch:

GLib.FileError: Failed to open file “/home/stieg/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/stocks@infinicode.de/schemas/gschemas.compiled”: open() failed: No such file or directory

[cinatic]

hard to tell what might be the problem, i tried the packages on fresh vm instances, without having a problem

the GS 42 pkg on ubutntu21.04 the GS 43/44 pkg on debian12

how exactly are you installing these packages? make install or downloading the release packages?

[stieg]

how exactly are you installing these packages? make install or downloading the release packages?

$ git fetch origin && git reset --hard v24.2-GS42 && <Copy to my local directory>
