Error retrieving stock data: Server returned HTTP response code: 401 for URL: https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?symbols=INTC

I was just running a simple code given below:

import yahoofinance.Stock;
import yahoofinance.YahooFinance;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.math.BigDecimal;

public class StockMarket {
public static void main(String[] args) {
try {
Stock stock = YahooFinance.get("INTC");

          BigDecimal price = stock.getQuote().getPrice();
          BigDecimal change = stock.getQuote().getChangeInPercent();
          BigDecimal peg = stock.getStats().getPeg();
          BigDecimal dividend = stock.getDividend().getAnnualYieldPercent();

          stock.print();
      } catch (IOException e) {
          System.out.println("Error retrieving stock data: " + e.getMessage());
      }
  }

}

Anyone knows how to fix this?

I'm having the same problem.
It seems Yahoo API is not open anymore :(

I'm having the same problem. It seems Yahoo API is not open anymore :(

I'm afraid, it seems you are right.

The response I am getting is this

You also can't download the data from the website anymore, not even when you are logged in.

It seems you need to pay $40 per month now.

Could scrape the data from the webpage, but that's fragile.

Such a bad news. Does it mean if i need to purchase minimum Gold plan only we can get the token to access the yahoo finance API now? Is there an easy way to make it work with the current java API if we choose to subscribe the Gold plan?

I added a LiveTest to this API in my PR #227. All of the previous tests were mocked. Take a look at the OnlineRequestTest class and feel free to add tests. getStats() seems to work. Historical Prices have the 401.

To my understanding, now you need to have a crumb query parameter and possiblely cookie in the header for every API calls to prevent the 401 error. The source code has some code about crumb. Not sure why the 401 error still occurs. Once getting over this issue, the data is still accessible.
