As of yesterday, my routine for downloading Google Finance csv data is only working for a limited number of symbols, for the rest only HTML code is returned, anyone has an idea what's going on?
I also noticed this morning that main Google Finance web page at www.google.com/finance has radically changed. For individual stocks, the detailed information such as recent News and Earnings info is gone, and in its place is a lot more images and links to news stories. Now it is as useless than the main Yahoo Finance web page.
F*ck, don't tell me it's going down the pipe too... :-( Yesterday half of the top 100 ETFs worked, now not even SPY...
They've been announcing a warning portfolios would no longer be supported for quite some time. "Google Finance is under renovation. As a part of this process, the Portfolios feature won't be available after mid-November 2017. To keep a copy, download your portfolio."
"As part of this revamped experience, we’re retiring a few features of the original Google Finance, including the portfolio, the ability to download your portfolio, and historical tables"
