I've checked the issues and it appears that yfinance versions below 0.2.58 are affected by this. Perhaps you need to update it first.

Not yet. I've tried others' solutions but failed.

[ValueRaider]

Does #2483 help?

[davidbenton]

Yes, I've had this issue for a few days and #2483 fixes it for me, thanks for your work debugging @ValueRaider!

[lixin4sky]

Does #2483 help?

No, It does not work. I've tried it.

pip install git+https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance.git@fix/cookie-reuse

but it failed again, and the error is still here.

Are you connecting via VPN or proxy service? Yahoo might have blocked it.

Are you connecting via VPN or proxy service? Yahoo might have blocked it.

Yes, I can use Yahoo website now, and I used yfinance a few days ago, but failed today.

[ValueRaider]

Have you tried not using a vpn or proxy?
