YaWhore Dance with Yahoo Finance (sudden change of API)

[yetanotherquant]

On 17.04.2017 Yahoo.Finance changed its API, so ichart.finance.yahoo.com is (temporarily?!) unavailable. In particular it means that many R-scripts that rely on quantmod/getSymbols() will not function anymore. We discuss the ways to circumvent the API change of Yahoo.Finance and alternatives to it, esp. Alpha Vantage.

Yahoo finance API is not available anymore. I have moved to MarketXLS after this change, much more reliable data.
