A potential solution was found in response to "Using BeautifulSoup to Search Through Yahoo Finance" and tried.
When examining the Dev Tools>Network>Call_Name & Headers columns on first attempt at identifying the required url, found a very long url that pointed to a large json file which contained the required EBIT information. Saved both the url and json data to .txt so I could examine them carefully. However, no matter how I try, I cannot find this url again in the Call_Name & Headers columns, so can't grab the data dynamically! Suggestions, or is it possible YF picked up the first access and are now blocking repeated attempts? Thanks.

You may want to enable the "Disable Cache" and try to capture the payload again. – LionsDen Jun 30 '22 at 17:06

Thanks for suggestion. Unfortunately still no joy, problem remains. – george hannan Jun 30 '22 at 19:32

might try a bit of packet sniffing with Wireshark to see if I can spot what's happening on the wire – george hannan Jul 02 '22 at 11:09
