Error encountered trying to plot online with plotly?

joshanderson99 commented 6 years ago

I've run the start_here.ipynb notebook, but in the first example an error is produced, to the effect that it seems to be trying to log in to a plotly account for online display with unrecognised username ''. Error msg below. Any idea why?

Aw, snap! We don't have an account for ''. Want to try again? You can authenticate with your email address or username. Sign in is not case sensitive.

Don't have an account? plot.ly

Another issue is that the get_symbol function is producing an error, yahoo not returning the requested data.

pandas_datareader._utils.RemoteDataError: Unable to read URL: https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/QQQ?period1=1451566800&period2=1516798799&interval=1d&events=history&crumb=dncO2%5Cu002F2yRne

@joshanderson99 you need to create a plotly accuont as detailed here https://plot.ly/python/getting-started/

for yahoo, the API has been retired - i'm currently looking to get alphavantage data in it instead
