<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 have been doing some investigating and came up with this solution. See<br>
web site url below. I have not tried it as yet.</p>
<p>But, if you could have the developers change the csv import format to<br>
include the stock ticker, then this could be very automatic (not have to<br>
do it for each stock ticker and a separate file.</p>
<p>Let me know your thoughts.</p>
