Stock Quote Sidebar missing data

i’m having the same problem with the ^DJI being absent. this is the site: https://fitzfi.com/

I went through my code over and over to make sure I didn’t do anything wrong, or that anything was missing and finally started looking to the web. Turns out, that as of mid-July, Dow Jones has made their data unavailable in XML format “for consistency” they say. Which means since Yahoo won’t be sending that along anytime soon. I’m sure there is a money issue behind it all.

I’m annoyed, my client is a little bummed. They liked the ease and simplified look of it all, but we are still looking for another solution. I was hoping, since they are a business, any financial tools and data they subscribe to, might offer a way or a url for us to pull in the data. As of yet, I have no DJI data available to me.

If you figure something out, please let me know. Sorry for the bum news though.

I need the DJI average too! Is there any other source of data that could be used to pull in that data? I love this plugin and it had DJI until very recently.

I’ve just noticed this, and will investigate to see if there are any workarounds.

Thanks Andy!

Guys,

Although Yahoo has eliminated the ability to download XML/CSV-based quotes for ^DJI, changing your symbol in the plugin options to “INDU” should bring it back. In fact, when you do this, the data that comes back from Yahoo actually still references the ^DJI symbol. Not sure if this is an oversight on their part, but it will get you back up and running for now. I will keep thinking about ways to get this data from another source, in case it happens again.

Thanks for using the plugin!

Andy
