'yahoo.finance.xchange' blocked for more than 24 hours

Hello,

As I am saying in the title, the community table 'yahoo.finance.xchange' has been locked for at least 24 hours. I have a script that has been working for 2 months, accessing the table once in a hour, but it's been more than 24 hours I got the basic error, hourly:

"The current table 'yahoo.finance.xchange' has been blocked. It exceeded the allotted quotas of either time or instructions"

Usually when I got this error, it is fixed very quick, within the hour. Any clue about what's going on ? Is someone spaming the table ? Can't he be banned if it's the case ? Or maybe it's normal, and it will come back 'one day' ? Any feedback about using community tables would be welcome. If it happens for a long time like that, I'm not sure I'm using the best solution/API for my app.

Any help will be welcome,

Thanks,

carl

  • We have exactly the same need and the same result since yesterday morning. The yahoo.finance.xchange table seems to be blocked. It would be nice if someone can aswered us and tell if this is a temporary situation or the table won't be acessable anymore.
