Fetch error

[oskargoyvaerts]

Nice project but when running it I'm getting User
New crumb: yRG6Yj2wkbt
⨯ node_modules\yahoo-finance2\dist\esm\src\lib\yahooFinanceFetch.js (103:0) @ Object.yahooFinanceFetch [as _fetch]
⨯ Internal error: Error: Invalid Crumb. For Developers - https://bit.ly/yahoo-finance-api-feedback

any idea why that occurs?

Hey! :) Thank you for reporting this issue and for the detailed error message. Unfortunately, you've encountered a known problem with the unofficial Yahoo Finance API I'm using in the project. Yahoo has recently made changes that have broken compatibility with the node-yahoo-finance2 package.

Here's a breakdown of the situation:

• Yahoo Finance does not have an official public API. Projects like this rely on unofficial methods that are prone to changes.
• Recent Yahoo changes require a workaround. See this discussion for more details: Invalid Crumb / Yahoo disables API access to quotes data gadicc/node-yahoo-finance2#764
• Some users have shared temporary solutions in that thread. I haven't had a chance to confirm their effectiveness.

As of my plans, I understand this is frustrating, and I apologize for the inconvenience. I'm currently busy with other tasks but plan to investigate a fix sometime this week or next. In the meantime, please try the workarounds suggested in the GitHub issue thread.

Important Note: Please consider filling out Yahoo's feedback form: https://bit.ly/yahoo-finance-api-feedback This helps signal your interest in an official API that could bring long-term stability.

Thank you again for your patience and understanding!
