I quickly tried this but get exception:
yq.Ticker('AMZN', username='redacted', password='redacted')

File ".../yahooquery/yahooquery/login.py", line 27, in init
self.driver = webdriver.Chrome(
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TypeError: WebDriver.init() got an unexpected keyword argument 'service'

selenium=3.141.0 webdriver_manager=3.8.6

@ValueRaider Can you try upgrading selenium?

Selenium 4 just generates a different exception:

requests.exceptions.RetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='query2.finance.yahoo.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v1/test/getcrumb (Caused by ResponseError('too many 500 error responses'))

I prefer v3 because calls with v4 hang for 2 minutes, I've no idea why

Hmm this looks like it’s no longer a problem with selenium but a problem now with getting the crumb from that endpoint after you’ve logged in.

Do you get the same error when not passing in a username and password?

Without username & password, same "max retries" error and now with either version of Selenium. Note: does not happen with yahooquery 2.3.2 (latest official)

@ValueRaider I wasn't able to reproduce your error. I did change the code slightly though so it may be working for you now. I also deployed it temporarily to the streamlit app where it seems to be working again.

Same behaviour, "Max retries" errors. What are other people experiencing?

That’s weird. I have it working locally and I have this code running in the streamlit app as well - https://yahooquery.streamlit.app/

@ValueRaider I’m wondering if it has something to do with where you’re based. I’m naively navigating to finance.yahoo.com to retrieve cookies - but I believe you’re based in the UK and would actually navigate to uk.finance.yahoo.com. Curious if you pulled this code down and just changed this if it would start working for you.

I don't quite understand where I would make the change. But to check if worth investigating, I logged in with Firefox Debugger active and don't see UK-specific URLs, but the same as you e.g. https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v1/test/getcrumb

EDIT: let me check header for anything UK-specific ...
EDIT: Some progress. Copying over my headers from browser solves the exception, but crumb is empty string

Hey y'all, interested in this one as I currently use all_modules in an occasional batch run that computes a ton of single security analytics. Sounds like we're still pretty far from having a solution we like here, and that maybe Yahoo is deliberately discouraging it. Given that, I'm probably gonna switch over to a bunch of individual targeted calls to get what's in all_modules on Sunday.

@cmjordan42 Where are you based? My somewhat uneducated theory right now is that this would work for anyone based in the U.S, which is why it works for me and it works inside of the streamlit app. If you are U.S. based, you could take this branch for a spin and see if you're able to access the all_modules property in that way.

Another somewhat uneducated guess - I think the solution to this is to almost have country/region specific headers that map to what they would be if that person navigated to the YF home page on a browser. I think what's happening right now is instead of going directly to the home page, it first navigates to consent.yahoo.com and has you accept cookies, which you can't do using simply requests.

I'm in US - EST. I'd be happy to test drive if it would be helpful.

Just tested with this branch, it appears to work fine. Definitely an improvement even if some regions have more complicated issues. May as well publish it to get all_modules working for some people.

However, it occasionally fails with something a response along the lines of:

"For input string: "-91000.0000000002""

And that appears to be transient; if you request the same security again, it may work. Not sure if that transience is on the yahooquery side or the Yahoo side.

@ValueRaider, @cmjordan42 Would you mind giving this another go? Made some changes last night that hopefully both handles errors but also provides a fallback option with selenium (if it's installed) to retrieve cookies/crumb.

No change, and I tried changing URL and header parameters. These are my browser headers btw:

{
    "Host": "query1.finance.yahoo.com",
    "User-Agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:109.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/115.0",
    "Accept": "*/*",
    "Accept-Language": "en-GB,en;q=0.5",
    "Accept-Encoding": "gzip, deflate, br",
    "Content-Type": "text/plain",
    "Origin": "https://finance.yahoo.com",
    "Referer": "https://finance.yahoo.com/"
}

@ValueRaider Is this where the error is happening (the explicit request to retrieve the crumb)?

That line returns an empty string. This line returns 403 Forbidden.

Does this work for you in USA? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/76065035/yahoo-finance-v7-api-now-requiring-cookies-python
Works for me in Europe.
