RemoteDataError: Unable to read URL #22

Closed tsando closed 7 years ago

tsando commented 7 years ago

Hi,

I am running this on Python 3.5: ffn.get('aapl,msft,c,gs,ge', start='2010-01-01').to_returns().dropna()

But I get the folllowing error: RemoteDataError: Unable to read URL: http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?f=2017&g=d&e=20&c=2010&d=2&s=aapl&a=0&b=1&ignore=.csv

Any ideas of how to solve this? Thanks.

I think this is a problem with Yahoo API.

Both yahoo_finance and pandas_datareader (which is used in this project) seem to be broken because of it.

pmorissette commented 7 years ago

Yes this problem is external to ffn. I believe the YahooFinance API has been discontinued. I will switch over to a different default provider if this is indeed the case.

ManuelLevi commented 7 years ago

If you change the default from yahoo to google it should work.
