Yahoo Finance API issue

[cjtexas]

I'm experiencing what seems to be an issue with the Yahoo Finance Endpoint behind get_price() :

> yfinance::get_price("SPY")
# A tibble: 0 x 0
Warning messages:
1: In open.connection(con, "rb") :
  cannot open URL 'https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/SPY?modules=price': HTTP status was '401 Unauthorized'
2: In safe_download(vector = ticker, proto_function = get_price_proto) :
  There were ERRORS while downloading data for these items: SPY.
Please check if you have the correct ticker. The vector of errored items and error messages can be accessed as attributes of the returned dataframe - attributes(df).

It seems like quantmod package authors have dealt with** a very similar issue in a certain way (although it is with a different endpoint and API version etc...)

Do you know an API endpoint that works? If we find an alternative one it should be relatively straightforward, as the json parsing are separate functions.
