Hi, I'm following the QuantConnect article on Hackernoon and can't get the Toolbox to run. It gives me a DateTime.ExactParse exception (System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid DateTime)
mono QuantConnect.ToolBox.exe --app=IEXDownloader
--tickers=NFLX
--resolution=Daily
--from-date=20180101–00:00:00
--to-date=20181231–00:00:00
I've created a Sandbox application with VS (targeting the same .net framework version as Toolbox) and I can parse the same format used in Toolbox.
Any ideas?

Hi Andre,
Thank you for pointing this out. Unfortunately, IEX has stopped supporting their free API https://iextrading.com/developer/#sunset-schedule 10 days ago, right around when we published. We will make an edit to the article to reflect on this issue.
However, you can still get the data in an alternative way. Please try the command
mono QuantConnect.ToolBox.exe --app=YahooDownloader --tickers=NFLX --resolution=Daily --from-date=20180101-00:00:00 --to-date=20181231-00:00:00
to test out our Yahoo data downloader. Hope this helps and looking forward to your reply!
