Earlier quoted context omitted.

You realized that’s probably half of the startups and companies out there right?

That doesn't make it any less true.

Businesses can fail. That is true as well.

I guess we should never build businesses.

At TagniFi we have a free account that provides access to end-of-day market data (TagniFi Markets) via our API at no cost. Data items include high, low, open, close and volume along with adjusted closing price (for splits and dividends). Documentation is at http://docs.tagnifi.com/article/63-search-tagnifi-markets. Sign up at https://www.tagnifi.com/trial

Note: we only limit our trial to the Dow 30 for our fundamental data (balance sheet, income statement, cash flow statement). Market data is not restricted to the Dow 30 for the trial which does not expire.

There's a thread about this on Yahoo!s own forums: https://forums.yahoo.net/t5/Yahoo-Finance-help/http-download... I am incredibly amused by the person who refers to himself as a customer of this. If you want to be treated like a customer, find someone who will charge you money in exchange for the service provided.

There's obviously way more nuance to this though. APIs of this nature rarely charge a fee.

A non profit that I support has been relying on Yahoo for exchange rate information for nearly 10 years. I knew when I inherited the app that this was imminent, so it wasn’t too surprising.

There are plenty of alternative paid APIs out there that made switching easy. Hopefully others who had legacy developers integrate with the financial APIs are able to switch easily too.
