Roger Whitcomb commented on PIVOT-1026:
---------------------------------------
There is an API available from Qandl (see here:
[https://docs.quandl.com/docs/getting-started)] that probably could be used.
Would require people to sign up for a free account and to be able to enter
their account key in order to access the data, though. So, not really suitable
for a public demo app.
> Replace logic for StockTracker demo since Yahoo has discontinued its API to
> download stock data

> Key: PIVOT-1026
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-1026
> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tutorials
> Affects Versions: 2.1, 2.0.5
> Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
> Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
> Priority: Major
> Fix For: 2.1
>
>
> Yahoo has as of around mid-2017 discontinued the "download.finance.yahoo.com"
> API for downloading stock data. There are new APIs that are meant to be used
> only by browsers (in order to satisfy Yahoo's Terms and Conditions, involving
> the use of a crumb and cookies). So, the StockTracker tutorial is
> effectively rendering unusable as of now until replacement logic is
> available. There is a Visual Basic solution here:
> [http://www.signalsolver.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/EmulateURL-V1.0f.txt]
> that is complicated but seems to work at least.
