My `pricehist` command that used to fetch prices from Yahoo Finance stopped working ("unauthorized"), and I found this 6-month-old reddit thread suggesting it's now a premium feature:

[https://www.reddit.com/r/excel/comments/1crgtaw/unable\_to\_copy\_yahoo\_finance\_data\_anymore](https://www.reddit.com/r/excel/comments/1crgtaw/unable_to_copy_yahoo_finance_data_anymore)

FYI, or please let me know if you can still download prices from them, especially with pricehist.

And a followup question, do you know of another `pricehist` price source that provides prices for things like Vanguard bonds ?

Though, it seemed as if upgrading pricehist from 1.4.4 to 1.4.12 has helped.

Also the coinbasepro API has been moved/renamed; I think that's not in a pricehist release yet.
