Italian ETF: object has no attribute 'retrieve_historical_data', but which?!

[dapaexp]

Hi, I'm trying to extract all the Italian ETFs searching by ISIN

`isins_list = ['DE0002635265','DE0002635299',......1134 ISIN HERE......... ] isins=pd.Series(isins_list) results=dict() information=dict()

for isin in isins: search_result = investpy.search_quotes(text=isin, products=['etfs'], countries=['italy'], n_results=1) results[isin] = search_result.retrieve_historical_data(from_date='04/05/2021', to_date='06/05/2021')

results`

But i get this error: `--------------------------------------------------------------------------- AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)

in 7 for isin in isins: 8 search_result = investpy.search_quotes(text=isin, products=['etfs'], countries=['italy'], n_results=1) ----> 9 results[isin] = search_result.retrieve_historical_data(from_date='04/05/2021', to_date='06/05/2021') 10 #information = search_result.retrieve_information(isin) 11 AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'retrieve_historical_data'` I understand that for some ISIN code is not possible to retrieve historical data, but how can I discover which are these ISINs? Or, as better alternative maybe, how can I skip the ISINs for which the error is risen? Thanks a lot

Hi @dapaexp, are you using the latest investpy version? As I think that you may be using investpy v1.0.5, where investpy.search_quotes(..., n_results=1) was returning a list of SearchObj class instances rather than just one instance.

Also, note that for consistency you should surround the call to investpy.search_quotes() with a try: ... except Exception as e: ... code block so as to make sure that the ISIN you are looking for was found.

For further information feel free to check whether those ISINs are available at Investing.com either manually from the website search engine, or automatically handling the exceptions and printing the not found, wrong, failing, etc. ISIN codes!

Check the investpy version as:

>>> import investpy
>>> investpy.__version__
1.0.6

If you have another version, update the package with the following command:

pip install git+https://github.com/alvarobartt/investpy.git@master

Great! Thank you! Finally I managed to write it like this..
