Yahoo Accounting is one of the most sought after products in the industry. .5 6.5 years I had the privilege of working in it. Recently, I engaged in an interesting StackOverflow debate over Yahoo Finance’s APIs “down” or “changed”.<\/p>\n
Now, admittedly, on the surface, this sounds like a bad move for Yahoo. In fact, people have theories around the time of Yahoo’s acquisition and the API’s being shut down (or changed). These are certainly not.<\/p>\n
Yahoo accounting replaced the old API with a new one that requires a certain amount of authentication. The explanation for this change is quite simple and boring.<\/p>\n
