Yahoo deprecated the API - this gem just no longer works because the API can no longer be publicly queried. You might be able to do it by starting a session on the web page, but this gem is set up for the old way the API worked.

@wakproductions Yeah! I noticed this

Too bad 😢 At least 30 gems are deprecated now!

I'm investigating here to see if there is at least one gem alive that can fetch stocks data on the Stock Market... 😆
