Why can't I download data from Yahoo past 5/12/2017 with Hquote Pro v 7.60?

Question

It's mostly in the title. The portfolio download appears to initially work, showing the green progress bar and a symbol and name being downloaded, but it never finishes and progresses to another symbol.

Answer 1

Yahoo changed something and that's the reason you can't use HQuote. I am also disappointed after using downloader for well over 10 years. BTW did you get in something different? Rocco

Answer 2

Hquote relied on Yahoo finance API this free service from Yahoo has been terminated, unlike Arnold the developer team at Yahoo have said "it won't be back!!". If it helps, I now make use of a software called HSQuotes Downloader to continue maintaining my Metastock dB's

Answer 3

Thanks for the answers! I think I'll try HSQuotes Downloader now that Yahoo has changed things. Hopefully it will be able to download Stock Market indexes also. I haven't been able to do that using MLDownloader.
