All stocks modules are not working for me.

The Google API has been shut down, which is why the stocks module is not working. I’m not sure about the others…

stocks is using Google API which is Not longer supported.

MMM Stock is using Yahoo API. Normally the module should works. On my MM the Module is no more visible. I try to debug the implemented stock datastream from Yahoo API and it works. I dont know why the module is not visible on screen

@Mykle1 i Setup the module for one example stock. In the Module file i delete the comment for debug url write to console.

For this case my url see below. When i copy the url in browser i received all data.

https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=env%20'store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys'%3B%20select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20in%20('VOW3.DE')&format=json&diagnostics=true&callback=

I don’t get the data in a browser. It’s a download url to a txt file

@Mykle1 you are right, the data are forbidden, i can see an http403 in the basic data.

I tested this URL last week end of october. I was searching on the yahoo api and found the decription on yahoo. On yahoo i can take a look of the example. Today the data are empty too(see link before).

Last week i made some tests with a second MM project glancr. Glancr has an Stocks modul, which is based on yahoo too. The modul was implemented this year in august. It works last week, so that was the reason why i try to debug the MMM-Stock Modul.

I dont know why the service are down right now. In case of cancel the service, yahoo will not decripe her api i think. Maybe its temporally.

From what I’ve read online it looks as if both Google and Yahoo have abandoned their respective stock API’s and it doesn’t look as if they have any plans to reinstate them.

Yes. They both shut down their realtime finance API.
But this link still kinda works. Maybe someone can build a new module with it?

I don’t know anything about finance and stocks, So I cannot help about creating module about that.
Anyway, Before some Genius builds really nice one, you can use web widgets instead. (you can put the HTML codes into any iframe or static html module, if exists.)
I’ve got this for test.

To find the widget, just google it. there are plenties.
