Unable to fetch financial data from yahoo using datafeed toolbox and Matlab R2017b

Dear Team,

I'm facing issues while using yahoo as the datasource on Matlab, below code produces the following error: Undefined function or variable 'yahoo'.

Code:

y = yahoo;

ticker = 'YNDX'; fetch(y,ticker);

close(y);

Kindly let me know how to use the fetch command using Yahoo or any publicly available API.

Regards

I'm also facing this issue with IQF:

>> c = iqf('username','pwd'); Undefined function or variable 'iqf'.

Check the output of the ver function to confirm that you have Datafeed Toolbox installed. If you don't, you will not be able to use the iqf function from that toolbox.

I believe Yahoo stopped that service. About 2 or 3 months ago I was able to update stock prices in an Excel workbook I had, and it suddenly quit working. When I did some research I found that Yahoo was stopping that service. I don't know of a replacement.
