Stop working for me recently

[berserksun]

Hi,

I have been using this plugin for over last year. But it stops working recently, not sure if it's related with recent update.

My location is in Canada.

Stopped working for me too. Location uk but stocks are everywhere.

Yahoo Finance disabled API. Based on apiURL in: https://github.com/shayne/stock-ticker-stream-deck-plugin/blob/master/pkg/api/api.go https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?lang=en-US&region=US&corsDomain=finance.yahoo.com&fields=symbol,marketState,regularMarketPrice,regularMarketChange,regularMarketChangePercent,preMarketPrice,preMarketChange,preMarketChangePercent,postMarketPrice,postMarketChange,postMarketChangePercent

{ finance: { result: null, error: { code: "Unauthorized", description: "Invalid Crumb. For Developers - https://bit.ly/yahoo-finance-api-feedback" } } }

We can read that the API for Yahoo Finance is disabled. https://bit.ly/yahoo-finance-api-feedback

Indeed, needs a fix :(

@shayne maybe you could update it?

[shayne]

I'm using this daily and haven't experienced an issue. Make sure you're using the latest version from this site.

@shayne but if the Yahoo API is deprecated, how can it work? I tried 1.1.3 from the Elgato store and from Github, both don't react to tickers or presses

[shayne]

Meanwhile... Perhaps try clearing them out and re-adding them? I'm using the equivalent of their web APIs AFAIK and the recent updates worked around the issues with the outgoing API.

Same here; it does not seem to do anything; even in the debug console, it's just not there. I tried looking for failing requests but can't seem to find anyone.

I have removed and retried, uninstalled, and re-installed with no luck.

EDIT. I found the log files you write to, and in there:

API response status code non 200: 401 401 Unauthorized

ironically, the store is full of awesome crypto tickers and both forex/markets stock monitors are awful and/or don't work

I tried, this plugin needs a rework, it doesn't work. My env isn't the problem.

Probably people having old token have grandfathered access and new users are declined.

I was doing some research, and it seems that no more "free, with no token" APIs are available. But Polygon and Finnhub seem like good candidates. They allow enough per-user volume to have a decent stock tracker. I would have no problem adding an API token to the configuration to get it working.

[shayne]

Thanks for the research. I'll look at switching providers.

[shayne]

I replaced the Yahoo Finance API with Finnhub. Please go download v1.2.0 from the releases page. I'll let Elgato know there's a new update: https://github.com/shayne/stock-ticker-stream-deck-plugin/releases/tag/v1.2.0

Thank you @shayne very much for the update to use a different API.

1.2.0 working great for me so far.
