YAHOO FINANCE ERROR FOR C#
Posted: Thu May 30, 2024 3:38 pm
Yahoo finance provides unofficial api to extract fianancial data. But fetching these data user has to GET access through browser.
Earlier using C# httpclient data extraction and calculation was easy. But recent restriction in header by yahoo finance resulted error in c# coders.
There is a solution to make it work by adding header to your httpclient properties.
1. Declare httpclient
2. Define default header for httpclient
Adding user-agent in header file of httpclient request yahoo finance restrictions can be eliminated.
Thanks
