CsvProvider Documentation - Google finance historical 403 Forbidden

Open demonno opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

If you try to follow the example in the CsvProvider documentation, it is not working currently.

// Download the stock prices
let msft = Stocks.Load("http://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=MSFT&output=csv")

Fails here because google restricted access to historical finance data

https://www.google.com/finance/historical?q=MSFT&output=csv

If there is an alternative API to get the same data, docs can be updated based on working example.

Same issue for CsvFile Doc

Have you found a way to work around this? I am trying to use google finance data as well.
