Could I be missing some type of variable setting in the environment file? I know that when I first setup AlphaVantage (before the update to 3.2) I had to put my Alphavantage key in the environment file. Since Yahoo was not an option when 3.2 came out, maybe a variable that made Yahoo work before got deleted from the upgrade? I only throw this out because it is way over my head technically, but maybe somebody knows something about this. Just grasping at straws with insufficient knowledge.
