yahoo data source : too many requests - qchartist - 02-19-2025
Hi, This morning, i could not get a chart using yahoo finance data source. (429 too many requests)
max 100 requests per hour seems to be allowed from the yahoo api server side
The success of qchartist makes that the usage of the yahoo finance data source requests exceeds the maximum curl requests allowed by yahoo finance api.
This problem appears because i did not set a custom user agent for curl.
This problem will be fixed in the build 312 ; in the menu tools > settings you will be able to change the user agent for curl with an appropriate text box
Then when you get a chart from the data source using yahoo finance, it will work again.

The build 312 fix has been uploaded on our servers.
This build fixes the problem with the download error of yahoo finance charts from the data source caused by too many requests
You may modify sometimes the user agent in menu tools > settings if the error occurs again
You can run update from the qchartist folder or download and extract the build 312 from https://sourceforge.net/projects/qchartist/files/updates/ or https://www.qchartist.net/updates/QChartist_build_312.rar
Enjoy

Just to clarify, I changed user agent in menu Tools > Settings to this line, and yahoo worked immediately;
