get_historical_prices not working--bad url?

[dlrubin]

when calling get_historical_prices I get a 404 not found error. The URL this function calls to get historical stock prices seems to no longer be valid. Is there a new URL to use?
Thanks

thanks for reporting this.
it looks like Yahoo changed some of their finance API's recently. I will investigate and hopefully can adapt it to the new stuff.

Great, thanks, and I'd greatly appreciate if you could let me know when you have a fix.. hopefully it should be a simple fix

Any news on this? I just stumbled upon this and I don't get exactly what might be wrong, since
ystockquote.get_historical_prices('APC.DE', '2016-10-19', '2016-10-24')
works, while
ystockquote.get_historical_prices('CCC3.DE', '2016-10-19', '2016-10-24')
gives me an 404 not found.

Is this a Yahoo problem? If I use some dates from the beginning of 2016 it works fine in both cases.

get_historical_prices was working for me until about 3 days ago
Looks like the url has changed.
