Get_financial_stmts still return None

[syrakusmrdrte]

I have tried and tried to search for solutions, but ticker="AAPL" YahooFinancials(ticker).get_financial_stmts("annual",["income","cash","balance"]) returns {'incomeStatementHistory': {'AAPL':None}, 'cashflowStatementHistory':{'AAPL':None}, 'balanceSheetHistory':{'AAPL':None}}

Is there any way to solve this so that I get the financial statements?

I have got the same issue. Anyone has any insight?

Also had the same issue after adding the BeautifulSoup fix, that I got these None results.

@syrakusmrdrte, @CDCDM1986 I Fixed it by adding the second user-agent header change fix. Perhaps Yahoo is blocking the previous one, but seems like they at least respond HTTP 200 so not sure.

I'm sorry, I am a beginner programer. I am not sure what to do with that information, can you tell me how to actually apply your solution?

My biggest appreciation in advance!

@Frodriguez9 i made the edits in the yahoofinancials/__init__.py that was linked to. here's the fully fixed file that works for me - https://gist.github.com/avelaga/762142a778c2e3a969fbb78ec351d6e8

you want to replace /yahoofinancials/__init__.py with this fixed __init__.py file. if you can't find the package, run the following: python3 to open a python shell

import sys
print(sys.path)
exit()

to find the python path and search through those to find yahoofinancials

these are the file paths where i found it on different machines: in aws: /usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yahoofinancials in raspian: /home/pi/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yahoofinancials in macos: /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/yahoofinancials

hope that helps!

@avelaga thank you so much! it worked!.

I was telling a friend that one of the things I've enjoyed the most since I started to become involved with IT was to find such helpful community of programers. You guys are always willing to assist others.

No wonder why IT keeps evolving more rapidly than all other industries combined. Thank you so much!
