It's been a long time coming, as @yahoo said:
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.
So what's an alternative?
@Stockflare we've been a long term customer of Thomson Reuters, but for the last 6 months, we've also been consuming data from the IEX (remember the heros of the FlashBoys book?).
Not only is the IEX API top class... it is free. See: http://ift.tt/2lLkXBH
To vent your fury there are two good threads:
- Yahoo http://ift.tt/2A0roEs
- Google http://ift.tt/2zX7efo
Personally, I'm not surprised. For better or worse, YQL was being "abused" / used by some fintech startups to launch MVPs. I suspect the underlying content owners, were annoyed their data was leaking out, without being paid. A real shame. As this probably hurts innovation.
And if you'd like to test out the Stockflare API, please ping me privately. Though it's not available for commercial use. Only research and testing. Sorry, we don't want to end up disappointing like YQL.
