Test ticker validity before making yfinance call #497

Closed StephanAkkerman closed 8 months ago

StephanAkkerman commented 8 months ago

The bot will now throw a warning for all tickers that are not valid:

404 Client Error: Not Found for url: https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/SOLANA?modules=financialData%2CquoteType%2CdefaultKeyStatistics%2CassetProfile%2CsummaryDetail&corsDomain=finance.yahoo.com&formatted=false&symbol=SOLANA&crumb=uRGGvBHN4yJ

To prevent this from happening we should first check if the ticker is valid at all for instance by using: https://api.nasdaq.com/api/screener/stocks?tableonly=true&limit=25&offset=0&download=true or https://scanner.tradingview.com/america/scan

Maybe there are other APIs for finding all the stock tickers available on yahoo finance

Other option: https://github.com/portfolioplus/pytickersymbols (does not seem to be completely up to date)

Or we could look for ways to suppress it 🤷

StephanAkkerman commented 8 months ago

Could maybe look into: https://github.com/dpguthrie/yahooquery for getting all tickers

StephanAkkerman commented 8 months ago

Maybe convert yfinance code into yahooquery: tickers = Ticker(sp500, asynchronous=True)

Could also add some rules for this: like skipping it when the ticker is longer than 4 letters
