    This may happen intermittently and you should catch errors appropriately.
    However:  1) if this recently started happening on every request for a symbol
    that used to work, Yahoo may have changed their API.  2) If this happens on
    every request for a symbol you've never used before, but not for other
    symbols, you've found an edge-case (OR, we may just be protecting you from
    "bad" data sometimes stored for e.g. misspelt symbols on Yahoo's side).
    Please see if anyone has reported this previously:
    
      https://github.com/gadicc/node-yahoo-finance2/issues?q=is%3Aissue+ChartResultObject
    
    or open a new issue (and mention the symbol):  yahoo-finance2 v2.13.3

    At the end of the doc, there's also a section on how to

    in case you'd like to contribute to the project.  Most of the time, these
    fixes are very quick and easy; it's just hard for our small core team to keep up,
    so help is always appreciated!

Thanks, @shihabuddin.

This might be the case of:

we may just be protecting you from "bad" data sometimes stored for e.g. misspelt symbols on Yahoo's side).

What kind of result were you expecting here?

https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/XAU/ looks pretty empty.

[shihabuddin]

I am trying to find gold spot prices. I thought XAU is the symbol for that. Do you know what is the correct symbol for that?

[gadicc]

Hey, no, unfortunately I don't know the correct symbol for that 😅

I suggest to try find it first on https://finance.yahoo.com/, the library should work with anything you can find there.

[gadicc]

Closing since validation correctly threw on invalid data, and, unfortunately, we can't provide help with finding symbols.
