Is the crumb still required?

[smeijer]

I've been trying a lot of different URLs without providing a crumb, and they all seem to work without it. So I'm curious, is the crumb still required? Or is it something left from an old API version?

For example,

The search API, works without crumb:

curl -s "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v1/finance/search?q=AAPL&quotesCount=6&newsCount=0&enableFuzzyQuery=0"

The download/symbol api, works without crumb:

curl -s "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/AAPL?period1=946681200&period2=1597134159&interval=1d&events=history"

And the quotes API, works without crumb:

curl -s "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=price&formatted=false"

What am I missing here?

Haha really? Never even thought to try this. They may well have removed it. I'm away until next week but will take a look then. Thanks for reporting!

@gadicc Did you already got the time to take a look at this please? 🤔

Hey @MichaelDeBoey thanks for the nudge. Unfortunately something's up with my test setup, so it might take me a little while longer to get started on this. But in any case, I imagine that we'd first have a release where not using the crumb is optional, before making that a default behaviour. And at least now, although there's a bit of unnecessary extra data being sent, everything is still working great.

Don't worry, no pressure 🙂
Just wanted to give you a heads up 😉
