LSE Stock Missing #190

Open lefig opened 3 years ago

lefig commented 3 years ago

Hello,

The project is still not fit for purpose with respect to the UK market - too many stocks to mention are just not found.

We trade 250 stocks and approx 50% are only found when using the technical analysis API.

I can send you a report.

Missing stocks seem to be a common problem judging from other users.

Would it be possible to include an API parameter for the unique symbol displayed on investing?

Regards

Fig

Hi @lefig, sorry for taking too long to answer, you already know that I'm usually mad busy! 😩

Regarding what you mention, as you may know, investpy.search_quotes() kind of solves this issue, as it's using Investing.com search engine rather than the static files.

I'll tackle this for investpy v1.0.5, which will come in one week or so! 👍🏻 I'll include a method in the SearchObj, which is the Python class of the retrieved financial products while using investpy.search_quotes(), so that each search result is an instance of that class, which implements some methods to retrieve recent data, historical data, and information. But I'll include one for the technical analysis indicators if applicable.

Thanks for your patience! :hugs:
