    Yahoo CSV Stock API

    I've been using Yahoo CSV API to get end-of-day stock data for a few years. As of this week, I'm getting inconsistent data with very large price values (>50000). I’m an expert in VBA and have fully diagnosed my code; although it has not changed. This problem even shows up in a browser which completely eliminates my code. My question, has anyone experienced this problem or heard of problems with Yahoo CSV API? The URL below will return data if pasted into a browser and you should see the problem if you repeatedly refresh. This URL will return the price, volume, date and time. Notice that the data returned changes.

    Hello xtremeapps,

    Welcome to the Forum!

    if the problem is not with your code and the problem is repeated in your browser then the logical conclusion is the problem is in the feed somewhere. Have you tried accessing the information on a different machine with a different ISP? This will tell if you if the problem is with your ISP. If the same thing happens then either Yahoo as made changes to the API or their feed is bad.
    Sincerely,
    Leith Ross

    Thanks for the reply, I've found other people that are having the same problem so it appears to be a Yahoo service issue.
