Yahoo server via USA

[progers1947]

Mar, you said "2) Use Fund Manager with a VPN and from a connection outside a GDPR country, like the United States for example. Accessing Yahoo from a VPN like this will enable you to then retrieve prices, even once you're not using the VPN, as you've obtained the necessary cookies.
Thanks,

I tried that and it works if I connect my VPN to a US site but as soon as I return to the UK it fails again. Are there cookies somewhere I need to clear first?

Hi Peter,

No. That technique worked at the time, but currently the problem is a bit different. You'll have to retrieve with the VPN on, or switch to a different quote server.

Hi Mark,

Since a week or so, Yahoo price retrieval is also broken via Canada. I'm able to update prices using Historical. Any idea if this is broken for good or do you foresee a patch?

Thanks.

Michel.

Hi Michel,

I expect a patch will be able to fix it. After August 4…

Hi Michel,

We have just released an update to fix Yahoo. Please use "Help / FM on the Web / Check for Updates..." to download quote module 584.

Please note, this will not fix Yahoo for connections coming from within Europe. If you are within Europe you will need to use a different server, or access Yahoo through a VPN connection to another country, like the US.

Now working within Canada

Thanks Mark.

The functionality of retrieving from Yahoo in Europe has been restored. Select "Help / Fund Manager on the Web / Check for Updates..." from within Fund Manager 2022 or 2020. For more details, see this announcement.
