An alternative way is to monitor the data and extract it from the Yahoo Finance website itself (or another one for the matter).

We solve this at Monitoro[0] and we make it easy to receive alerts or just store historical prices in SaaS apps and automation platforms. No fear of losing access to the API, and no need for coding in the first place.

I think your service is super helpful for many small volume use cases! But it doesn't come with guarantees right? Like if Yahoo moves its UI around, change elements and classes, etc.

not yet, but you will be notified that extraction has stopped, and you can fix it in a few seconds.

We want to make it eventually robust to changes unless the data was really removed from the webpage you’re monitoring.
