[MMM-JaST] Just another Stock Ticker (new: version 2.x)

[Jalibu]

Dear fans and users of this module,

unfortunately Yahoo has switched off the Stock API in its previous form. The module is therefore currently unable to retrieve data (an error appears in the log).

The author of the library that Jast uses to retrieve data from Yahoo is working on a solution. At the moment, however, it is unclear whether there will/can be one.

I will monitor the progress of the development and keep you informed.

I am sorry that there is nothing else I can do at the moment but wait and see.

Update: The issue was fixed.

Please read the version’s release notes for instructions for updating this module.

@Jalibu Thank you for making the change to resolve the API format modification made by Yahoo. My timing was perfect. I was diagnosing the issue on my mirror when you updated your changes. They are working perfectly. Appreciate it.

I had tried to install MMM-Jast module several times but always get this error:
I run Magic Mirror on Raspberry Pi2B . Is this a problem?

@leonids you need to increase the swap space size

and maybe the heap size

for the heap size in config.js before the
modules:[

add

electronSwitches:{ "js-flags": "--max-old-space-size=8192"},

that will allocate 8 Meg of heap. you can make it bigger…

make sure you increase the swap space

I’ll leave that to a Google search for you

Thanks,
I have tried both of these things and nothing helped :(

I have doubled swap space and added heap settings in config.js but it did not change anything, Still same crash as before

Maybe 1G RAM is too small for this program?

@leonids ok it’s something else

[Jalibu]

@leonids do you get this error during module installation or during runtime?
