We got several complaints today that downloading data from Yahoo does not work anymore. The reason is that Yahoo switched their servers to a new HTTPS protocol last weekend.

We've just uploaded a new beta version, 1.56.4, which downloads Yahoo data with the new protocol. You can get it from http://opserver.de/down/ZorrroBeta.zip.

Alternatively, you can still use your old version, but download Yahoo data from Quandl, f.i. assetHistory("YAHOO/AAPL",FROM_QUANDL);
You must register at Quandl for getting a Quandl key. Also, Quandl does support Stocks, but not all ETFs in their Yahoo database.

Update: For downloading all the Z8 assets with the beta version, you can use a small script like this:

Code:
void main()
{
	assetList("AssetsZ8");
	while(asset(loop(Assets)))
		assetHistory(Asset,FROM_YAHOO);
}

It seems that some other things have changed at IB.

The Zorro manual states (or it did last time I looked) that you need to be subscribed to "US Value Bundle PLUS" data subscription for Z8.

To make this work, I found I needed these:
- AMEX (Network B/CTA)
- NASDAQ (Network C/UTP)

I cancelled my entry for "US Value Bundle PLUS".

Still have some problems downloading from Yahoo.

I tested the Heatmap script built-in Zorro. I tried both V1.56 and V1.58, both of them carshed like below:

Heatmap compiling..............
Bad date format - can't parse Historyhistory.csv
0 AEIS bars read
0 AMAT bars read
More assets..
0 AMD bars read
Time 00:01:06
Error 111: Crash in script
Time 00:01:06

What did I do wrong?

By the way, does the data from Yahoo have volume information? What's the right function to get the volume info.

Thank you

Jeff

Yes, Yahoo data has volume info. Or had, at least - look into the "history.csv" with a HTML browser and you'll get the answer for the new download problems. frown

IE and Chrome can't open it.

Which is the function to get volume info? Like I use priceClose(0) for the close price.

Thank you

Jeff

"history.csv" comes with Zorro, I didn't modify it, It should have been working.

Had you managed to open it with your browser, you had seen this message:

Yahoo
Will be right back...
Thank you for your patience.
Our engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue.

No, I tried both IE and Chrome, didn't work out. I asked one of my friend tried, not either. Which browser do you use?

Jeff, you have to rename the "history.csv" to "history.html" in order to open it in Chrome or IE.

I have been informed meanwhile that it's unlikely that the "Yahoo engineers" will fix it in the next time.

We'll have to look for an alternative to Yahoo for ETF prices via API. Unfortunately, all I found so far is not free.
