I use YQL to get some financial data. And I noticed that lately I have different results for the same query from yahoo.finance.quotes. For example: Request for an oil price made 5 times.
"LastTradeWithTime": "9:09pm - <b>38.29</b>", "LastTradeWithTime": "1:33am - <b>38.66</b>", "LastTradeWithTime": "2:32am - <b>38.72</b>", "LastTradeWithTime": "2:32am - <b>38.72</b>", "LastTradeWithTime": "9:09pm - <b>38.29</b>",
(But when you test the same query from the YQL console , all results seem consistent.)
This behavior really disappoints users (andorid application) - click the refresh button and you will get very different results, click it again and the old results will return again. There was a similar report on the yahooapis forum, but it is very old. Does anyone have this problem and how to handle it?
