Screeners not pulling any data

[Sanketh-Nagarajan]

Hi,

I am trying to import technical data from finviz using the following piece of code:

from finvizfinance.screener.technical import Technical

finviz_scan_technical = Technical() technical_df = finviz_scan_technical.screener_view()

But the output says 'No Tickers found.'. As you can see, I have not set any filters but still the function is not retrieving any data. Did some setting change on finviz's side to cause this failure?

Btw, I am using version "0.11.0"

Thanks

I think it is due to change on finviz side. The package fail to fetch page information. All the screeners have the same issue. I will fix this ASAP.

The package is updated. Please check the new version. Thanks for reporting.

I upgraded the package and I am getting the following error for the same piece of code:

line 283, in screener_view table = soup.findAll("table")[18] IndexError: list index out of range

My mistake. I change in one place but forget to change this one. Sorry.

[lit26]

Please directly pull from the repo to see if it is working. If not I will push a new version to PyPi. Thanks.

I think your package is not updated. So the previous error is the number 18. But the current master branch is changed to 19.

It works! Could you please push the new version to PyPi .. Thanks!

[lit26]

Sure, thanks for helping.

The package is published on PyPi.
