<p>Thank you for contacting us.<br>
We've been looking into this issue and it seems all customers are encountering 400 and 500 errors - 404, 502 or 504.<br>
A Yahoo support representative has confirmed that Yahoo Finance API has been discontinued.<br>
From the changes that have been made, it seems like Yahoo is trying to prevent people from automated downloading like Moneydance (and so many others) are doing.</p>
<p>Our lead developer has mentioned that we may be able to make a change, that means the Moneydance connection will pose as a browser, rather than a program. This may allow the connection. However, it seems very likely that this will turn into a 'cat-and-mouse' game.</p>
<p>The current workaround is to download the quotes in a cvs file and import them by navigating to Tools > Securities > Edit then Import.</p>
<p>We are looking into other services we can use instead to resume the automatic downloads.</p>

<p>I am familiar with this feature of MD but it does not really solve the<br>
problem. As I understand how it works, the cvs file should only have the<br>
stock prices for one security _at_a_time there are four columns right<br>
now that are used. Most users have at least 20-30 (why this current<br>
issue is getting a lot of comments) securities, which means a similar<br>
number of separate files.</p>
<p>In the interim, could the feature you mentioned be enhanced that it<br>
would have another column indicating the security. That would allow<br>
multiple securities to be loaded at a time.</p>
