help im facing this problem too

[addisonlynch]

It's due to changes from the provider (see #23). Will be fixed by the end of the week (see #19). Sorry about this. Also, the top-level function IexFinance is now Stock and can be imported as such. All will be in the docs for new release

Temporary fix is to use the dev version (current master branch):

install: see readme after installing:

from iexfinance import Stock

aapl = Stock("AAPL")
aapl.get_price()

Dear Addison,

When I tried to download the developer version using the code pip install git+https://github.com/addisonlynch/iexfinance.git

I got an error too : Error [WinError 2] The system cannot find the file specified while executing command git clone -q https://github.com/addisonlynch/iexfinance.git C:\Users\Surface\AppData\Local\Temp\pip-1046woj_-build Cannot find command 'git'

I keyed in the command in anaconda prompt.

Please help and thank you for your assistance.

Cheers, Wendy
