getting error when i run the commend pf = build_portfolio(names=['GOOG', 'AMZN'], start_date=start_date, end_date=end_date)

Exception: Error during download of stock data from Quandl. Make sure all the requested stock names/tickers are supported by Quandl.

Kindly solve the issue

Hi there.

You could try the following:

import quandl
stock_data = quandl.get(['GOOG', 'AMZN'], start_date=start_date, end_date=end_date)

And check if that was successful.

Also, you could try downloading the data from Yahoo Finance instead. Try:

pf = build_portfolio(names=['GOOG', 'AMZN'], start_date=start_date, end_date=end_date, data_api="yfinance")

I hope this helps.
