Try accessing the YQL API directly from Python 3

import json
import urllib.parse
import urllib.request

def send(query, fmt='json'):
    """send query to yahoo api"""
    response = urllib.request.urlopen(__urlbuilder(query, fmt))
    data = json.loads(response.read().decode('utf-8'))
    return data

def __urlbuilder(yql_query, fmt):
    """urlencode yql query"""
    base_url = 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?'
    query = {
        'q': yql_query,
        'format': fmt,
        'env': 'store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys'
        }
    url = base_url + urllib.parse.urlencode(query)
    return url

if __name__ == '__main__':
    data = send(query = 'select * from yahoo.finance.historicaldata where symbol in ("EUR=X") and startDate = "2014-01-01" and endDate = "2014-12-31"')
    quotes = data['query']['results']['quote']
    print(quotes)
