Common Issues

Connection issues

My API key is not being accepted

Double-check that you've copied the full API key without any leading or trailing spaces. If you're using a RapidAPI-hosted Yahoo Finance API, make sure your subscription to that specific API is active — having a RapidAPI account alone isn't enough. You also need to verify that your plan hasn't exceeded its monthly request quota.

The data flow fails immediately after I run it

This usually means the API key is invalid or the API endpoint is unreachable. Try pasting your key into the provider's own test console to confirm it's working, then re-enter it in Coupler.io.

Missing data

No data is returned for my selected interval and date range

Certain interval and date range combinations are not supported by Yahoo Finance. Specifically, short intervals like 1m or 5m are only available for very recent periods (typically 7 days or less). If you select 1m with a 1y range, the API will return nothing. Switch to a longer interval (e.g., 1d) or a shorter date range (e.g., 7d) for intraday data.

Some dates are missing from the results

Yahoo Finance does not return data for market holidays, weekends, or trading halts. Gaps in the data for those dates are expected and not a Coupler.io issue.

One of my tickers returns no data

Verify the ticker symbol is correct and that the security is still actively traded. Delisted stocks or tickers that have changed symbols (e.g., after a merger) may return empty results. Try looking up the exact symbol on Yahoo Finance directly before adding it to your data flow.

Permission errors

I'm getting a 403 or "forbidden" error

This usually means your API plan does not have access to the endpoint Coupler.io is calling. Check whether your RapidAPI subscription tier includes historical data or the interval you've selected — some free tiers restrict access to certain endpoints.

Data discrepancies

The Adjusted Close values changed between two pulls

This is expected behavior. Adjusted Close is recalculated retroactively whenever a stock split or dividend is announced. If you need a stable historical record, store a snapshot of each pull rather than overwriting previous data.

Prices don't match what I see on Yahoo Finance's website

Yahoo Finance may display prices with a 15-minute delay for some markets during live trading hours. The API data may also differ slightly from the website display due to post-market adjustments. For end-of-day analysis, always use the daily close from the previous completed session.

Rate limits

I'm hitting rate limit errors when pulling many tickers

If you're querying a large number of tickers in one data flow, you may exceed the requests-per-minute or requests-per-month limit of your API plan. Consider splitting tickers across multiple data flows or upgrading your API plan. You can use Coupler.io's Append transformation to merge results from separate data flows into one destination table.
