Issue with getQuote

[rabarros01]

Description

Hi,

when running the function "getQuote", I am getting the following error message:

Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 404.

Expected behavior

This error has happened for quite some time. It used to run smoothly.

Minimal, reproducible example

Here is an example:

tickers = c("WM","TOM.OL")
data.stocks.last = getQuote(tickers, what=yahooQF("Last Trade (Price Only)"))

Session Info

And the error message pops up

Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 404.

Thanks!

Hi,

any clear solution to this error "Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 404."?

It seems like a similar error "Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 401." appeared in the past, and could be fixed with a patch by ethanbsmith, https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/382

Thanks!

Kind regards, rabarros01

it looks like yahoo has removed the v6 endpoint which was a fallback because the v7 endpoint doesn't work in gdpr countries. We can probably improve the error message on this, but not fixable

Good catch Ethan! I forgot about that issue for GDPR countries.
