Download Returns with Proxy Server

[MuslemRahimi]

Hi,

I have the issue that I want to run my python code

import quantstats as qs
import argparse

parser = argparse.ArgumentParser()
parser.add_argument('--ticker', type=str, required=True,
                    help='Type the ticker for comparison')

args = parser.parse_args()
ticker = args.ticker

# Fetch the daily returns for a stock

stock = qs.utils.download_returns(ticker)

df = qs.reports.metrics(stock, 'SPY', mode='full', display=False)
print(df)

on my linux VPS Server.

However, Im not sure how to setup a proxy server in order to make download_returns(ticker) work?

If anyone can help me out I would appreciate it alot.

Thanks

So you're having trouble downloading the returns, or downloading the final report? If the latter, probably easier to write it to a file using the html function with output = local_path, then scp the html report off the server.

I suggest you create a notebook and try to download some datt using yfiance (or something else) to check if the problem is really this.

If it is, then you should check this with your VPS provider.
