Since Yahoo no longer supports fetching stock data, this feature was removed: https://sourceforge.net/p/octave/financial/ci/9dde94f8a51151593d74c1e6947858edecf40c03/

This can be closed.

Hi,

The fetch_yahoo function of the financial package no longer works. In particular it relies on a host (ichart.financial.yahoo.com) that no longer exists.

Here is the output of "test fetch":


***** test
 [d f] = fetch(yahoo(), "yhoo", "01-Jul-2005", "10-Jul-2005");
 assert(d, dgood, 1e-5);
 assert(f, fgood, 1e-5);
!!!!! test failed
Could not write Yahoo data to tmp file:
Couldn't resolve host name
shared variables
  scalar structure containing the fields:

    fgood =
    {
      [1,1] = Date
      [1,2] = Open
      [1,3] = High
      [1,4] = Low
      [1,5] = Close
      [1,6] = Volume
      [1,7] = Adj Close
    }
    dgood =
