2 months ago I noticed the same issue. I was going to send an email to Nasdaq support (connect@data.nasdaq.com) too, but decided to check here first. Thanks for the info you provided.
A few additional things I noticed regarding the Nasdaq Data Link Python API Client:
- It was last updated 2 years ago (2022-08-29). There is a possibility that it is no longer being maintained.
- The example provided in the GitHub repo for data-link-python returns the same error message:
import nasdaqdatalink data = nasdaqdatalink.get('NSE/OIL')Output:
JSONDecodeError ... DataLinkError: (Status 410) Something went wrong. Please try again. If you continue to have problems, please contact us at connect@data.nasdaq.com.
- Status code 410 is not listed on the Nasdaq Data Link documentation guide page: ERROR CODES - API FOR TABLES DATA
According to Mozilla's mdn web docs, this code is 410 Gone:
The HTTP 410 Gone client error response status code indicates that the target resource is no longer available at the origin server and that this condition is likely to be permanent. A 410 response is cacheable by default.
- Digging deeper into the documentation [FOR_DEVELOPERS.md], there is an alternate method for accessing the datasets:
data = nasdaqdatalink.Dataset('WIKI/AAPL').data()
Unfortunately, the output will return the same DataLinkError: (Status 410) error message.
- In an attempt to see if any datasets could be retrieved, I searched the Nasdaq Data Link database for futures with "Free" filter and 2 results were returned:
The example provided worked for this QDL/FON dataset:
However, the CHRIS/CME_ES1 dataset is not available:
For NSE/OIL the response message is: The following datatable 'NSE/OIL' does not exist.
Page No Longer Exists
Next Steps:
I'll see if there is another way to get the equivalent dataset using an alternative API:
| Source | API |
|---|---|
| E-Mini S&P 500 Future Continuous Contract | marketwatch |
| E-Mini S&P 500 Dec 24 (ES=F) | yfinance |

In Chapter 1 of the course, the example for retrieving data from Nasdaq Data Link no longer works. Specifically, in the notebook: 01a_diving_into_continuous_futures_data_with_nasdaq_data_link.ipynb
The following code:
fails due to the deprecation of the CHRIS database.
I contacted Nasdaq Data Link for clarification, and they informed me that:
They further explained that:
This issue affects the current functionality of the example in the course and needs a replacement or update to reflect available data sources.
