Here an example how to invoke it: python get_quote_history.py –symbol=IBM –from=2017-01-01 –to=2017-05-25 -o IBM.csv This will download IBM historical prices from 2017-01-01 to 2017-05-25 and save them in IBM.csv file. import re import urllib2 import calendar import datetime import getopt … Read more

It seems they are intentionally blocking automated downloads of price histories and forcing queries to provide information to validate cookies in a web browser
I was facing a similar issue from last 2-3 days. The url works on the smartphone, where on the desktop it gives “Not a valid parameter” error and HTTP Code 406. This can be resolved by adding user agent as “Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 6.0.1; MotoG3 Build/MPI24.107-55) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/51.0.2704.81 Mobile Safari/537.36” while invoking … Read more
Yahoo confirmed that they terminated the service: It has come to our attention that this service is being used in violation of the Yahoo Terms of Service. As such, the service is being discontinued. For all future markets and equities data research, please refer to finance.yahoo.com .
Yahoo has gone to a Reactjs front end which means if you analyze the request headers from the client to the backend you can get the actual JSON they use to populate the client side stores.
