YQLResponseMalformedError: Response malformed on yahoo_finance?

Question

yahoo_finance's get_historical function has been working fine for me until yesterday.

Now it just keeps giving me YQLResponseMalformedError every time I try to call get_historical. Any ideas? I literally did nothing new with the code.

from yahoo_finance import Share
yahoo = Share('YHOO')
yahoo.refresh()
yahoo.get_historical('2014-04-26', '2014-04-29')
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
YQLResponseMalformedError                 Traceback (most recent call last)

--> 342                 result = self._request(query)
    343                 if isinstance(result, dict):
    344                     result = [result]

    124             except KeyError:

    126         else:
    127             if self._is_error_in_results(results):

YQLResponseMalformedError: Response malformed.
