A see a lot of these that use Yahoo Finance API - AFAIU, it was deprecated many years ago and I guess might be in something close to a "forgot to switch off" state.
I wonder how much will break when they finally turn it off.
- davidkuennen 6y agoThere's still also a lot of apps around obviously using the Yahoo Finance API. Apps with hundrets of thousands of downloads. I'm curious as well.
- gruez 6y agoDoesn't the ios stock app also use yahoo finance api as well?
- PartiallyTyped 6y agoYes both the iOS and MacOS use yahoo finance api as well. Perhaps Apple is paying the bill here.
- tl 6y agoOne difference between this and Apple: Apple's apps show the news stories when you pick a stock where Yahoo presumably can get ad revenue. I doubt this gets popular enough to be targeted though.
- wp381640 6y agoFunny only recently I noticed the ads in the Stocks app and thought it was very un-apple
- ihuman 6y agoIt looks like the same API that the Yahoo Finance website calls (via react)
- chillingeffect 6y agofwiw, idm, ISTR it being turned off around 2018, so I'm surprised to see it working again.
- Cd00d 6y ago-> for what it's worth, Internet Download Manager, Investar Holding Corp it being turned off around 2018... Thanks for clarifying
- chillingeffect 6y agoit doesn't matter, I seem to recall :)
