Exception raised in Yahoo Finance

[noahnovsak]

Yahoo finance api seems to no longer work. I first noticed the issue in January.

Upon attempting to download data an error is shown.

I initially assumed this was just a me problem as I'm running this on pyqt6 and I have some other issues with the add-on menu, but across multiple platforms have been reporting the same.

This looks like your issue:

Quandl, like Twitter, has started rate limiting. Maybe we could look at alternate sources or allowing users to input their own API key.

Update: Tested it with an API key and it works just fine. Of course there is no place to put the API key in the app yet. I'll poke around to see if I can build it from the instructions here.

Possibly related? Just realized it is not using the Quandl function:

This might have fixed it?
#257

I could use some help testing it.

Still getting the same issue (Failed to download data. No internet? Wrong stock symbol?) with v3.35, I really wish to see some options on this widget (e.g. URL, API_KEY if data is not publicly available...)

It should be resolved at #257. The changes will be available with the new orange3-timeseries release.

Now addon version with a fixed Yahoo Finance widget is released. The new version will be available soon in Orange.
