I should add that the XML output suggests that Google has in fact allowed public calls to their information.

true

Is this issue on YQL's side or Google's side?

I recently started using YQL for a project andhave found previous posts alluding to the fact that Google blocks YQL requests

I was wondering if this occurs on a regular basis and if anyone else has experienced the same issue.

For instance, at the current time, I am unable to retrieve the information at Google Finance using YQL on a regular basis. It works at times, but it returns a 503 at other times.

I tried the code on this page for asynchronous calls using the y.query example

http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/guide/yql-execute-bestpractices.html#yql-execute-asynchronous_calls

I put the code in the execute segment of a table and I got this error

![CDATA[Exception: Cannot convert "THE CALLBACK FUNCTION FROM THE EXAMPLE" 
to java.lang.Long (javascript#34

Can anyone help? 

I retrieved the whole page with yql and check the xpath. This time the xpath is "//div[3]/div/div[2]/a/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[4]/td[6]". There are too much differences. Was the yql reformat the html?

Hi,

I'd like to fetch part of web page with yql. I have tried several queries. Most of the queries can return the correct result except one query.

Here is the query:

select * from html where url="http://www.cngold.org/img_date/livesilvercn_rmb.html" and xpath='//div[6]/div[2]/div/div[2]/table/tbody/tr[4]/td[6]'

I hope to get the price but actually get the empty result.

How should I fix the query?

Thanks in advanced.

In yql what command would I use to search for matches to either stock symbols or names? I'm designing an iPad app where the user searches stocks by name or ticker symbol.

Is there a list of command syntax for using yql with yahoo finance?

Thanks in advance!

XML parsing error at line: 105, column: 3. The markup in the document following the root element must be well-formed.

 Anyone else seeing this today?  I'm getting result: null with YQL and oauth request for social profile data.

Is it possible to query emails to get "member since". For example if I want to know how old is an email, is it possible to do this using Yahoo API?

SELECT * FROM Social.Profiles where GUID = me, works when you are signed in yahoo. But I want to query emails those are not mine and just want to age of the email.

I have the same problem. Can it be, that this problem is, 12 months after reporting it, still not fixed? :-/

Hi Harald,

I've found your questions via google and I'm experiencing exactly the same problem. Did you find a solution last year?

Thanks a lot!

You should use the "woeid" field in your where condition instead of the "location" field you are currently using in your query.

The correct query should look like this:

select * from weather.forecast where woeid=922137

Cheers

Paul -

I have tried twice to post a question to the YQL forum. Both times, I am advised that the post has been accepted, but I don't see it.

It deals with an apparent error in YQL that causes option strikes greater than $1,000.00 to be returned as '1'.

Perhaps you can assist with this issue and/or advise me why my post has not appeared.

Thanks very much.

I as using YQL to retrieve option data for ^GSPC (SPX) from Yahoo finance. Data from all table columns is successfully downloaded; however, any strike over $1,000 is reported as '1'. I have confirmed the same problem in the YQL console. Further, I have confirmed that the correct strike values are displayed on the ^GSPC web page and in the page source.

Since the YQL statement finds the appropriate table and retrieves all the requested data, which is correct except for strike prices, I assume the problem must be related to the low-level interpretation of the strike data. The information is presented with a comma, such as $1,250.00, between HTML tags, so I wondered if the comma suggested end-of-field or similar. However, data presented with commas from other columns is retrieved correctly. I am stumped, and would appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks very much.

how to get company list or quotes list from Stock Exchange

HI Paul,

It is very hard to use YQL. It's public url throws "table locked out" error most of the time.

I tried to work with the SDK that you mentioned but it is too hard and complicated. When I have already provided consumer key and secret then why it is expecting me to sign in using my yahoo id. It just don't make any sense.

Thanks,
Mandeep.

This is what I get as result. Not sure what is the issue.

Hi,

I am not sure if yahoo is experiencing system issues but I am having hard time getting data from YQL api foryahoo.finance.quotes. Please click on following link to access the query.

query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20in%20(%22ffiv%22)%0A%09%09&env=http%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltables.env


Please help me out.

Thanks,
Mandeep.

Folks -

I am using YQL successfully to query Yahoo option chain data, except when the option strike price is greater than $1,000. In all such cases, regardless of the actual strike price, the value returned is '1'. Strike prices from the same table under $1,000 are returned correctly. Also, the prices above $1,000 are displayed correctly on the web page.

Any suggestions? I have duplicated this problem on the YQL Console, but I don't see any element of the YQL that would affect this.

Thanks very much.

SELECT * FROM html WHERE url=">" AND xpath="//table[@class='views-table']"

Hi,
I am trying to get data from Yahoo cricket.scorecard table through YQL. Getting the complete XML but very difficult to understand the tags inside.
Any help for getting the description of the XML format to interpret the XML tags inside.

I read at this article http://www.yqlblog.net/blog/2012/01/17/recent-enhancement-to-the-html-table/ that the html table will be standardized to html5 but the html table is so heavily used, what if the conversion to html5 causes unknown errors across so many uses of the html table, what can I do to make sure that any unseen occurences I can handle by using the html table with html5 set in or must i be ready and simply make the adjustments as they happen?

Hi guys,
I would like to know the syntax in yql to get the value of all major stock exchanges around the world like nasdaq, bse ,nse and asian markets.
