The existing Yahoo URL for scrapping the stock price is no longer maintained from August 26th, 2021 (attached the screenshot below). Moreover there is a change in HTML tags for the current price field. I have added the new URL and have updated the HTML tags required to fetch the current price of the stock.

LGTM for the most part, but I'll still have to verify whether the new URL works correctly myself when I get the chance.
