tq_exchange("NASDAQ") not working

[mdancho84]

I'm getting the following error. It looks like 403 meaning access is being prevented. Any alternatives for getting exchange data for NASDAQ, AMEX, and NYSE?

tq_exchange("NASDAQ")
Getting data...

Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : 
  cannot open the connection to 'https://api.nasdaq.com/api/screener/stocks?tableonly=true&exchange=nasdaq&download=true'
In addition: Warning message:
In open.connection(con, "rb") :
  cannot open URL 'https://api.nasdaq.com/api/screener/stocks?tableonly=true&exchange=nasdaq&download=true': HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'

Seems like anti-scraper filter? I can reach URL from browser but not from curl.

Following for updates (and I will see if I can get anything to work).

Has this issue been sorted out? Its not giving for AMEX and NYSE exchange data also.

Has this issue been resolved or looked at?

[arunamalla]

yes, looks like an anti-spam filter is there.

api.nasdaq.com - sever is allowing only few values as 'User Agent' in the http request header. below are the allowed values as user agent { "user-agent": "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_15_7) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/113.0.0.0 Safari/537.36" }

modify package in local machine to make HTTP call with above mentioned user-agent

I will test this out. Thanks a lot. 😀

I'm getting issues too, that I wasn't getting back in Jan 2022:

nyse <- tq_exchange("NYSE")
Getting data...

Error in open.connection(con, "rb") :

This is working now. Make sure to use tidyquant >= 1.0.7.9001

Install using:

remotes::install_github("business-science/tidyquant")

> tq_exchange("NASDAQ")
