For the past few months, I've been using Marketwatch to fetch stock
prices. The last time I used it was a week or so ago, and it worked
fine then. Today, it's failing, and it looks like what's happening is
that the response to the initial request (for example
https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/PFE) is not the actual
result, but a link which I suppose is effectively a redirect:
<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html lang=\"en\">\n<head>\n <meta
charset=\"UTF-8\">\n <link rel=\"shortcut icon\"
href=\"about:blank\">\n <script
src=\"https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/json3/3.3.2/json3.min.js\";></script>\n
<script
src=\"https://resources.kasadapolyform.io/kpfp.js\";></script>\n
<script
src=\"/149e9513-01fa-4fb0-aad4-566afd725d1b/2d206a39-8ed7-437e-a3be-862e0f06eea3/fingerprint/script/kpf.js?url=/149e9513-01fa-4fb0-aad4-566afd725d1b/2d206a39-8ed7-437e-a3be-862e0f06eea3/fingerprint&token=b6d290af-6ec5-c871-85a5-7ea407e7f196\"></script>\n</head>\n<body>\n</body>\n</html>\n
I'm guessing it's an intentional change to thwart automated price
downloads. Is there any way to make this work, or do I just need to
find another source to use?
