Looks like Yahoo is shutting down this service. Error message is now: 403 Forbidden 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

Both Yahoo! and Google have changed or shut down their APIs. Is there another source of data, such as the markets themselves or brokers (at least for their customers)? I see very little discussion of alternatives, but some, such as (scroll down a bit):

Something like this seems to still work, I recently switched from ystockquote to it:

import json
import requests

symbol = 'ANET'
response = requests.get('https://finance.google.com/finance?output=json&q=' + symbol)
# The response is not valid JSON if you don't strip the leading "\n//"
text = response.text.lstrip()[2:]
quote = json.loads(text)

I found someone on the web did produce a working google query:
https://www.google.com/finance/getprices?q=MKSI&x=NASDAQ&i=60&p=2d&f=d,c,h,l,o,v

URL output to browser looks like this:

EXCHANGE%3DNASDAQ MARKET_OPEN_MINUTE=570 MARKET_CLOSE_MINUTE=960 INTERVAL=60 COLUMNS=DATE,CLOSE,HIGH,LOW,OPEN,VOLUME DATA= TIMEZONE_OFFSET=-240 a1524231000,105.25,105.25,105.2,105.2,25558 1,105.225,105.275,104.65,105.25,20164 2,105.4,105.5,104.75,104.75,4997 .... ....

I’m no python coder, but was curious to see where such development is at this point. Happy to hear if this is picked up again.
