The realtime quote gets updated at a different address. That page looks like some sort of JSON interaction is taking place to give the realtime update in the stock price.
So for apple stock the realtime page would be: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL?p=AAPL&.tsrc=fin-srch <https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL?p=AAPL&.tsrc=fin-srch> I glanced at the source code for the page and good luck finding the JSON interaction. Some simple searches just jump to a mess of HTML. There is however a Crumbstore with a crumb value placed that can be accessed the same way my code for the Historical Prices does. So if you had some working code for Yahoo in the past you may be able to update the URLs and make a “crumb” access to get the data.
