Hi mcdallas,

I have a question, on the description there's statement "provided from the Google Finance API" Isn't the Google Finance API has been shut down?

is this library still work?

Thank you :)

@pramanadiputra Yes officialy it has been shut down. However there are some endpoints that still work and have no delay. For example http://finance.google.com/finance/info?q=AAPL

@mcdallas Thank You :), and I just touch Python for 1 week. And I don't understand what this mean 'Wallstreet requires Scipy, requests and bs4 (BeautifulSoup4). Requests and bs4 are installed for you when pip installing but you need to have Scipy pre-installed.'

how to have Scipy pre-installed on Windows? It seems I have to download them and install them first?

pip install scipy
pip install wallstreet

This should get you everything you need. Alternatively you can install Anaconda which includes Scipy
