Is this happening on Windows 10 with Strawberry perl?
There is one other user is having problem getting secure cookies on
Windows 10 which is what this appears to be as well. It is related to
some Perl's SSL package being broken or not installed correctly but
haven't been able to pinpoint it.

yahoojson and yahooweb are not working for me either in v1.60 and
they didn't work in 1.59_01.
WRT "yahooweb", Yahoo made changes to their finance pages. The URL used
for the web scrape, aside from some formatting changes that break the
module, also returns a huge amount of header information (over 16k bytes
when I fetch it using curl). While I have a fix for the large amount of
header information, work needs to be done to change the parsing to
retrieve the data (see
https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/377).
WRT "yahoo_json" (which now allows it to be called "yahoojson"), some
users are reporting the same. Turning debug on within Perl has so far
indicated that not all the required cookies are being returned.
From using "curl" the following cookies should be retrieved:
AS=v=...
A1=d=...
A3=d=...
A1S=d=...
From one user, it looks like only the "AS=v=..." cookie is returned.
Those having the same issue as Richard, please execute "curl --head
https://login.yahoo.com"; or "curl --include https://login.yahoo.com"; and
look for the "set-cookie:" lines in the header.
Here is a way to test outside of GnuCash on Linux and Mac. Utilizes
cached package source left behind from install using "cpan".
# lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

# If you have installed 1.60 more than once (perhaps different

cd $HOME/.cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.60-0
export PERL5LIB=$HOME/.cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.60-0/lib:$PERL5LIB
./Examples/stockdump.pl yahoo_json AAPL
$VAR1 = {
'AAPLlow' => '168.27',
'AAPLopen' => '171.71',
'AAPLsymbol' => 'AAPL',
'AAPLeps' => '6.42',
'AAPLvolume' => 58572152,
'AAPLisodate' => '2024-04-16',
'AAPLname' => 'AAPL (Apple Inc.)',
'AAPLdiv_yield' => '0.5501187',
'AAPLcurrency' => 'USD',
'AAPLdate' => '04/16/2024',
'AAPLhigh' => '173.755',
'AAPLtype' => 'EQUITY',
'AAPLpe' => '26.457943',
'AAPLlast' => '169.86',
'AAPLyear_range' => ' 162.8 - 199.62',
'AAPLexchange' => 'NasdaqGS',
'AAPLsuccess' => 1,
'AAPLclose' => '172.69',
'AAPLmethod' => 'yahoo_json'
};
You can output debugging information by adding "DEBUG=1" before
executing the stockdump.pl script.
$ DEBUG=1 ./Examples/stockdump.pl yahoo_json AAPL
For those still having an issue with v1.60, my guess is that you will
find the "AS=" cookie in the debug output.
As Kalpesh theorized, the issue could lie within another Perl
module/package.

No, Yahoo is not requiring an API Key.
