FinanceToolkit v1.9.6

[JerBouma]

The last couple of releases were all minor bugfixes therefore it didn't merit a proper release. However, for this one quite a fix things under the hood have changed entirely inside the Economy menu. Given that OECD recently updated their databases, all of the original links broke and therefore needed fixing. This unfortunately also resulted in some functionality being scrapped given that the datapoints were archived altogether.

Furthermore, I am aware of issues with Yahoo Finance's data download. You won't notice any to this when using an API Key from FMP but if you don't, I had built a fallback method that went to Yahoo Finance. Given that Yahoo Finance doesn't officially support the collection of data for now this functionality within the Finance Toolkit won't function (it will return 0s). I have still to consider whether to remove the functionality altogether or come up with a fix. Given that the package yfinance exists, I might introduce it as an add-on if you still wish to have this functionality.

Please let me know if you do.
