<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.<br>
or to update the prices through the Security Price Entry extension in the Extensions menu.</p>
<p>We are looking into other services we can use instead to resume the automatic downloads.</p>
