Colleagues

For years, I have been downloaded stock prices using something like:
        require("jsonlite")
        cmd <- 
"https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?fields=symbol,longName,regularMarketPrice,regularMarketTime,regularMarketChange&formatted=false&symbols=AAPL";
        fromJSON(cmd)

Yesterday, this stopped working -- the message is:
Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : 
  cannot open the connection to 
'https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?fields=symbol,longName,regularMarketPrice,regularMarketTime,regularMarketChange&formatted=false&symbols=AAPL'
In addition: Warning message:
In open.connection(con, "rb") :
  cannot open URL 
'https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?fields=symbol,longName,regularMarketPrice,regularMarketTime,regularMarketChange&formatted=false&symbols=AAPL':
 HTTP status was '401 Unauthorized'

When I paste that code directly into a browser, I get:
        
{"finance":{"result":null,"error":{"code":"Unauthorized","description":"Invalid 
Crumb"}}}

I need the most recent closing price and the today's real-time price.  What 
other options exist to download prices for multiple stocks?
