When I enter from Spain Yahoo forces me to accept cookies and that is the problem. I think it is necessary to press the "ok" button with selenium. The problem I have later is that it gives me many connections when i go https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v1/test/getcrumb

@jgriessler This is absolutely fantastic, thank you.
Just tested your solution locally and I can now access the problematic API:s from Sweden, and I suspect the rest of EU (GDPR) regulated countries.
Are you familiar with forking and making PR:s on github? I think it would be a nicer way for others to review and test the solution instead to manually pasting the code?
In any case this is great news, if it is regulations and not a yahoo specific issue. Then it will probably continue to work and not be that much of "whac a moleto" to keep it running.
Thanks.

Its without VPN working fine for me in the Netherlands. Thanks @jgriessler for the patch. The instruction is a bit troublesome, so a pointwise instruction:
1)
Open the file ...../lib/python3.10/site-packages/yahooquery/utils/init.py
2)
Add in the header of the file after # third party
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup
3)
Replace the method
def setup_session(session: requests.Session):
by

def setup_session(session: requests.Session):
    url = "https://finance.yahoo.com"
    try:
        response = session.get(url, allow_redirects=True)
    except SSLError:
        counter = 0
        while counter < 5:
            try:
                session.headers = random.choice(HEADERS)
                response = session.get(url, verify=False)
                break
            except SSLError:
                counter += 1

    if not isinstance(session, FuturesSession):

      # check for and handle consent page:w
      if response.url.find('consent'):
          logger.debug(f'Redirected to consent page: "{response.url}"')
 
          soup = BeautifulSoup(response.content, 'html.parser')
        
          params = {}
          for param in ['csrfToken', 'sessionId']:
              try:
                  params[param] = soup.find('input', attrs={'name': param})['value']
              except Exception as exc:
                  logger.critical(f'Failed to find or extract "{param}" from response. Exception={exc}')
                  return

          logger.debug(f'params: {params}')
           
          response = session.post(
              'https://consent.yahoo.com/v2/collectConsent',
              data={
                  'agree': ['agree', 'agree'],
                  'consentUUID': 'default',
                  'sessionId': params['sessionId'],
                  'csrfToken': params['csrfToken'],
                  'originalDoneUrl': url,
                  'namespace': 'yahoo'
              })
          # just assume things are fine and session is setup now

      return session

    _ = response.result()
    return session

Gracias Griessler, Rudy!!!

@jgriessler Really appreciate the solution here! I'll work on putting this in and get it in the next release.

https://consent.yahoo.com/v2/collectConsent is dead, now.

@ibart This is most likely due to the fact that your browser is making a GET request - the url that you're using, and the one used internally, accepts the POST method with a defined body.

Thanks everyone for moving this forward (and of course Doug for getting the functionality in) while I was distracted with personal stuff. I've not yet played with github, so would only mess up trying to fork and work a PR.

One other comment - I noticed that things are a little bit slower now when querying data - I assume it's because finance.yahoo.com is just huge, so loading the main site takes time. Going through the consent for every query is also quite some overhead if you run a series of history update queries. So I switched to "reusing" the yq.Ticker() instance , just modifying the ticker.symbols. I do get a fresh instance randomly still to start fresh every 30-50 queries.
