[jira] [Created] (PIVOT-1026) Replace logic for StockTracker demo since Yahoo has discontinued its API to download stock data

Roger Whitcomb created PIVOT-1026:
-------------------------------------

             Summary: Replace logic for StockTracker demo since Yahoo has discontinued its API to download stock data
                 Key: PIVOT-1026
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIVOT-1026
             Project: Pivot
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: tutorials
    Affects Versions: 2.0.5, 2.1
            Reporter: Roger Whitcomb
            Assignee: Roger Whitcomb
             Fix For: 2.1


Yahoo has as of around mid-2017 discontinued the "download.finance.yahoo.com" API for downloading stock data.  There are new APIs that are meant to be used only by browsers (in order to satisfy Yahoo's Terms and Conditions, involving the use of a crumb and cookies).  So, the StockTracker tutorial is effectively rendering unusable as of now until replacement logic is available.  There is a Visual Basic solution here: [http://www.signalsolver.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/EmulateURL-V1.0f.txt] that is complicated but seems to work at least.
