LSE: recent prices does not work #141

Open lefig opened 4 years ago

lefig commented 4 years ago

Hi,

There are still serious problems with London equities. Take for instance the first 10 items from my watchlist.

{'3IN': '3i Infrastructure Plc', 'AA4A': 'Amedeo Air Four Plus Limited', 'AAS': 'Aberdeen Standard A...Focus PLC', 'ABD': 'Aberdeen New Dawn', 'ADAA': 'Adams Plc', 'ADAM': 'Adamas Finance Asia Limited', 'ADIG': 'Aberdeen Diversifie...rowth Ord', 'AEFS': 'Alcentra European F...d Limited', 'AEMC': 'Aberdeen Emerging M...y Limited', 'AEWU': 'AEW UK REIT Ord', 'AFMC': 'Aberdeen Frontier M...y Limited', 'AGOL': 'Ashmore Global Oppo...ities GBP', 'AGT': 'AVI Global Trust PLC', 'AIF': 'Acorn Income Fund Ltd', ...}

Only 4 out of 10 work with API: investpy.get_stock_recent_data(stock=symbol, country='united kingdom')

Outputs: Investing.com: Downloading failed: 3IN Downloading symbol: AAS Investing.com: Downloading failed: III Downloading symbol: ADIG running Investing.com: Downloading failed: ADIG Downloading symbol: AEMC running Investing.com: Downloading failed: AEMC Downloading symbol: AFMC Investing.com: Downloading failed: AFMC Downloading symbol: AJIT Investing.com: Downloading failed: AJIT Downloading symbol: ALAIF running Investing.com: Downloading failed: AAS Downloading symbol: ABD Investing.com: Downloading failed: ALAIF Downloading symbol: ANII Investing.com: Downloading failed: ANII running Investing.com: Downloading failed: ABD

The next 10 equities in my watchlist have coverage for only 3 items by investpy.

And this is typical more generally of this project support for LSE data. Very poor in general.

This is interesting work but we are unable to rely -on this software in any respect until these issues are resolved.

Thank you @lefig! It is hard to keep everything up since I gotta combine my work with investpy with my job, my MSc, etc. and all this coronavirus situation. But I will try my best to fix everything before this month ends. Sorry and thank you for your patience!

The effort will surely be worth it. The way I see it is that your work has the potential to be the definitive open market data tool not just for investing but also for yahoo users.

The quality of data and timeliness of that data is what separates both providers.

And when building a new framework from ground zero as you have done it is bound to take time to get right and be in a sense "quality assured". That is why all users should provide their support when they can.

Thank you
