Hi all, I tried to connect to yahoo data using any of these today and don't work. Any idea if someone is dealing with this, or how to solve the issue?
Thanks, Richard

The MathWorks Support Team recently posted an update on this issue. Here is the answer to save you the click:
“In April 2017, Yahoo introduced some changes in the protocol of their API. These changes prevented the Datafeed Toolbox from connecting to the service. The following webpage contains the workaround for this issue and instructions on how to apply the fix. https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1571158 ”

Hello David,
My name is Will and I am writing in reference to your Technical Support Case #02539213 regarding 'c=yahoo'.
MATLAB uses Yahoo's API under the hood. Around April 18th Yahoo introduced some changes in the protocol of their API. These changes prevented the Datafeed Toolbox from connecting to the service.
The development team implemented a fix that takes into account those changes, but the fix needs to be applied manually. To apply the fix, follow these steps:
1) Download the attached files: 'yahoo.m' and 'fetch.m'
2) Remove the following file %MATLAB_ROOT%\toolbox\datafeed\datafeed\@yahoo\yahoo.p %MATLAB_ROOT%\toolbox\datafeed\datafeed\@yahoo\fetch.m
where %MATLAB_ROOT% can be found with the following MATLAB command: >> matlabroot
3) Place the downloaded files in the following locations: %MATLAB_ROOT%\toolbox\datafeed\datafeed\@yahoo\yahoo.m %MATLAB_ROOT%\toolbox\datafeed\datafeed\@yahoo\fetch.m
4) Run the following MATLAB command >> rehash toolboxcache >> clear classes Now you should be able to retrieve historic and current data as usual: >> % Historic data >> d = fetch(yahoo,'IBM','Close','01/01/2012','06/30/2012'); >> d(1:3,:) >> >> % Current data >> fetch(yahoo,'IBM')

"isstring" function is not available in Pre-R2017a. The above solution works only for the latest version.

If you download the attachment in the link - https://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1571158 - the files are fetch.m and yahoo.p, not yahoo.m. Is that correct?
Also, I put them into @yahoo and it still doesn't work. The error is (still) "Error using yahoo/fetch (line 387) Unable to return historical data for given security."
Any advice would be helpful.

These are the 2 link about the Yahoo API related to this problem. I hope they will be wrong and exist someone in YAHOO that put this service back.....but looks like no more intelligent life in Yahoo.

It seems that after several changes Yahoo Finance closed their API forever, I think that's just Verizon costs cutting strategy and I'm pretty sure this API will not be working again. The API was closed on May 15, one month ago already.
I've tested several alternatives and found that https://eodhistoricaldata.com the best one for those who used Yahoo Finance. They provide raw data, adjusted closes and splits/dividends.
They also have CSV output, with very similar format for Yahoo Finance users, API Documentation and even VBA Examples, you can find them in Knowledgebase.
Also there is a https://intrinio.com/ data provider, looks good, but they much more expensive, have no data for Mutual Funds and API is very different in compare to Yahoo Finance. Then you need to significantly change your code.

It seems that yahoo finance has changed its API. I could not figure out how to fetch from their new API, so I made a script for google instead.
Here is the new function

What's the symbol formatting to return mutual fund data? Hand trying at the google site retrieved UNCMX but neither the symbol alone nor 'MUTF:UNCMX' succeed with the function -- "...did not find a resource to match this request."
It does work with the stock symbol so it's not something I fouled up in copying the function over; it is about how to look up mutual fund data instead of stocks...
ADDENDUM
Guess I found an answer -- there appears a difference at the google site when one clicks on historical data for mutual funds a .csv page is brought up but the Export link is not made active as is with stocks--so while the data are available, they're not in the same format as with the ticker data apparently; at least not yet.
I was able to solve the immediate need by a manual download from the Yahoo site...

Where are the attached files. The solution provided by Mathworks is useless. Unable to replace the yahoo.p file. Just bought the new license and still datafeed/yahoo/fetch does not work.

I first encountered this problem back in April 2017. I used the Matlab fix mentioned above and it resolved the problem. However, now at the end of May 2017 the same (or at least similar) problem has reappeared when fetch is used. Is Matlab support working on a solution to this apparently new problem?
