YQL console does not work consistently

I am trying to make a finance application that is currently pulling out stock quotes. My problem is described in detail below:

  • On the developer's console (http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/) I click "show community tables" on the right in the "Datasheets" section
  • I type 'select * from yahoo.finance.quotes where the symbol = "YHOO" for my YQL statement
  • I press the JSON switch
  • I remove "cbfunc" and uncheck the "Diagnostics"
  • I click "test" and the following appears: {"query": {"count": 1, "created": "2012-12-03T09: 11: 12Z", "lang": "en -US", "results ": {" quote ": {" symbol ":" YHOO "," Ask ": null, ... etc
  • In the "Request for Vacation" section, he gives me a link that I can use to access the displayed . This link that my program calls does not work. It shows {"query":{"count":0,"created":"2012-12-03T09:12:44Z","lang":"en-US","results":null}} instead, but not always - sometimes it works, and sometimes not.

Does anyone know why?

It is possible that you are faced with the problem of speed limits.

I would include the "Diagnostics" parameter, which will include calls made by YQL and any returned data in the output data. Here is the YQL Console link to your sample query with diagnostics enabled:

select * from yahoo.finance.quotes where symbol="YHOO"
