BTW I'd be happy to take a crack at debugging this, if you wouldn't mind pointing me in the right direction @achannarasappa. I've never done anything in Go so I have no idea how the project is structured or where to start.

@adupuis2 , would you be able to try running a curl to confirm there's no network level issue?:

curl https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?lang=en-US&region=US&corsDomain=finance.yahoo.com&symbols=AAPL

[fspoettel]

can't speak for OP, but it does not seem to be a network issue for me.

curl 'https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?lang=en-US&region=US&corsDomain=finance.yahoo.com&symbols=AAPL'

returns a well-formatted response.

[adupuis2]

The same is true for me:

The next step would be to use a debugger to have a closer look. From what's being rendered in the screenshots, it looks like data from the HTTP request never gets set. Unfortunately, without being able to replicate the issue myself, I can't add much here myself.

If you're up for debugging the issue, have a look at this article that explains how to do that with the go toolchain.

[fspoettel]

Thanks for providing the debugging article, it's very helpful and I learned something.
Turns out the problem was sitting in front of the screen in my case 🙈 Copied over the sample config in the README and did not unset the proxy which leads to the request silently failing with : proxyconnect tcp: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:3128: connect: connection refused.

Now that it works it looks like a very nice and useful program! 🙂 Thank you for creating it and your assistance here.

[achannarasappa]

Thanks for debugging this @fspoettel ! Glad to see you were able to find the root cause

I've removed the proxy setting from the readme so that folks who can copy the example config and expect it to work for them in most cases.

I also opened #79 in order to implement better error reporting. Ideally a debugger is not needed to detect errors like this :)

[adupuis2]

Oof, that's embarrassing. I can confirm it was the same issue for me as well. Thank you both!
