Since about 8pm UTC yesterday, it started only returning 404 Errors

[james-stevens]

Describe the bug Ticker("TSLA").quotes returns HTTP 404 Not Found

To Reproduce

#! /usr/bin/python3

import json
from yahooquery import Ticker

tickers = Ticker(["AAPL","TSLA"])
print(json.dumps(tickers.quotes,indent=3))

OUTPUT: HTTP 404 Not Found

Expected behavior Should return ticker data

Server (please complete the following information):

• OS: Alpine 3.16.5
• Python: 3.10.11
• Version: yahooquery v2.3.1

Additional context Service was working fine for a couple of months until about 8pm UTC 23rd May (yesterday)

[chfiii]

I'm seeing this too. It appears to be random. Runs for a while and then gets the 404 error. My current workaround is to put it in a retry loop but this shouldn't be needed.

Server: Windows 11 Python 3.9.16 yahooquery: 2.2.15 - Anaconda3

[james-stevens]

Interesting, I've had no success, since it started failing

alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py
"HTTP 404 Not Found"
alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py
"HTTP 404 Not Found"
alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py
"HTTP 404 Not Found"
alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py
"HTTP 404 Not Found"
alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py
"HTTP 404 Not Found"
alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py

"HTTP 404 Not Found"
alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py
"HTTP 404 Not Found"
alpine:~/python/yf$ ./yq.py

yq.py is the test script, as above

Looks the same as #178.

Last time the url can back online around 24hrs later...

reading that, the URL changed & the code was updated - I guess wait & see :)

Seems random to me. I’m passing a list of ~140 stock and index symbols and then using the ‘quotes’ entry. I seem to be ok by doing:

ok = False

numRetries = 5

for i in range(numRetries):

    tic = Ticker(val,timeout=5)

    qts = tic.quotes

    if not isinstance(qts,dict):

        print(f'ERROR: qts is not a dict\n{qts=}')

        print('Retrying {i}')

        continue

    else:

        ok = True

        break

Hope this helps!

Charlie

I get 404 every time (UK)

[chfiii]

Strange. Your test runs fine for me. I'm only seeing the 404 sporadically and the retry gets it.

[james-stevens]

Last time it happened it did appear to be a regional thing

[chfiii]

FYI I'm in Connecticut, USA

[pfuller88]

I'm just getting the 404 error as well. From Canada. Also seems random.

I'm still getting nothing but 404s here in the UK - so looks like its not going to cure itself in 24 hrs

[pfuller88]

I noticed it seems to just be the "tickers.quotes" request that is returning a 404 error. The other modules I'm using are still working, i.e. ticker.price, history, option chain, etc.

Well spotted, nice one! - same for me - gonna need to tweak my code now :)

[chfiii]

Me too!! Thanks for the heads up!

[james-stevens]

Thank you so much - I got my code working again now - price has everything I need.

Super pleased cos I was missing seeing my $NVDA investment taking off !!!

As far as I concerned this can be closed, but quotes still doesn't work for me - so its up to you @dpguthrie

[chfiii]

It seems that the price module is taking a lot longer that the quotes one. I was averaging about 1.2 seconds for 136 quotes and now its taking ~10 seconds. Anyone else seeing this?

[chfiii]

Price works ok for me but missing the day's and 52 week ranges

[james-stevens]

I only do a small number - about 27, so it works fine for me - I also update the prices in the background 4 times an hour, so 1s or 10s is really neither here nor there to me

[chfiii]

I tend to update around every 90 seconds so I'm still ok but disappointed in the slowdown, especially it seem to be a subset of the quotes output.

[CraigerBrau]

quotes is not working for me in Arizona, either. I concur with every comment except there's no randomness. It fails 100% of the time. I don't find price to be a suitable replacement because of missing values and slowness.

[chfiii]

Agree that the randomness has gone away. It’s dead all the time now. Missing the 52 week high/low, just returning a ‘N/A’ for now. And the price module is 7-10 times slower

[caliskanuzay]

Hi everyone, I also get 404 error from "tickers.quotes" request since 25 May from Turkey. There are important KPIs in quotes that are not available elsewhere, like "bookValue" and "priceToBook". Since I am a beginner, do you have any idea if and when this would be fixed? Thanks!

[james-stevens]

For me, I get a list of 27 via price in about 0.85s - I can't recall how long it took under quotes, but seems about the same to me

I pull the list of tickers from a database & pass the entire list to Ticker in one go.

def get_prices(ticker):
    try:
        tickers = Ticker(ticker)
        return tickers.price
    except Exception as exc:
        print(f"ERROR: {exc}")
    return None

cnx.query("select ticker from tickers")
res = cnx.store_result()
ret = res.fetch_row(maxrows=0, how=1)

tick_list = [ t["ticker"].upper() for t in ret ]
tickers = get_prices(tick_list)

(this is not posted for you to critique my Python :rofl: )

[chfiii]

FYI: One thing I noticed when I switched from quotes to price is that the change% needs to be multiplied by 100 to get the true change percentage.

For those looking for other variabale, the data.summary_detail and the data.key_stats are also still working. Here is a sample of the output fields for each.....

[chfiii]

Thanks. This does help as I wanted fiftyTwoWeekHigh./Low. Didn't want to use the history,'1y'' as way too much data

[caliskanuzay]

Dear @pfuller88,thank you very much!!!! This helps a lot because I did not know about .keystats:)) You saved me hours and hours as some of the kPIs like priceToBook, sharesOutstanding and many useful stuff disappeared in .quotes.

In my case, accessed from Qatar. all_financial_data(frequency='a') still working fine, but all_financial_data(frequency='q') got 'HTTP 404 Not Found.' error.

[kajdo]

thx for that .... still unfortunate that quotes isn't reliable, but prize will do the trick for me

[Marcel2059]

While the link blow is not the exact link use in the code but from the comments it seem yahoo quotes api has been disabled. See sub link. https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote .

[benhowell]

Looks the same as #178.

Last time the url can back online around 24hrs later...

This is indeed the same issue. I've been able to find everything via ticker.summary_detail, ticker.asset_profile and options: https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/options/{symbol} e.g. https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/options/NHC.AX

[dpguthrie]

There's a potential fix to this issue here.

[charlie-delta-003]

Any solution for this issue? I still receive error: {'error': 'HTTP 404 Not Found. Please try again'} for single modules: summary_detail, summary_profile, earning etc
