I am seeing

incorrect Quandl code error

when the argument of quandl.get() function has special characters.

code snippet:

import quandl
mydata = quandl.get("NSE/BAJAJ-AUTO")

Issue:

quandl.errors.quandl_error.NotFoundError: (Status 404) (Quandl Error QECx02) You have submitted an incorrect Quandl code. Please check your Quandl codes and try again.

Hey @rsamikan,

I looked up the NSE database and found the dataset that you were looking for. I believe your issue is that you have a hyphen where there should be an underscore within the dataset code. Is this the dataset you are looking for?

https://www.quandl.com/data/NSE/BAJAJ_AUTO-Bajaj-Auto-Limited

The following update to your code should allow you to retrieve data as intended.

import quandl
mydata = quandl.get("NSE/BAJAJ_AUTO")

I’ll close the issue for now but please feel free to re-open it if you encounter any other issues with this package.
