Has Yahoo changed the API? Firefox -> Yahoo webpage -> F12 -> Network tab -> F5 -> inspect
Holders webpage doesn't appear to use API directly.
Hey just adding to this thread. The following are broken:
- insider_purchases
- insider_roster_holders
- insider_transactions
- institutional_holders
- major_holders
- mutualfund_holders
@bot-unit @JuliaLWang8 Can you advise on what the new API/fields might be, how to figure it out? (tagging because of #1728 (comment))
I figured out a fix - ticker symbol needs to be appended to base URL, not added as a parameter:
https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL
I'll leave as a nice task for #1084
Is it possible to use this method ".institutional_holders" in any version?
It would be essential for what I am working on currently.
