Hi there,
I am getting the same issue using YahooFinanceData.
I have checked the URL in yahoo.py seem to be still working

  params = (
        ('proxies', {}),
        ('period', 'd'),
        ('reverse', False),
        ('urlhist', 'https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/{}/history'),
        ('urldown', 'https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download'),
        ('retries', 3),
    )```

The same to me. I tried to run the snippet in the readme but got error message No such file or directory: 'MSFT'
