My friends... i have the answer. I've been tweaking code between Yahoo finance and Google finance for YEARS.... completely at the whim of whoever changed the code for whatever reason. I've decided to to bail on google and yahoo... check out
intrinio.com. Its free.... FREE and 1000% more than google finance offers. They have API CSV downloads and integrating it took me about 2 hours. There's already stuff on stack overflow about it. No, i dont work for intrinio... just finally glad to see free API downloads from a seemingly reputable source.
Cheers!
