json.decoder.JSONDecodeError

If you're getting an json.decoder.JSONDecodeError related error, please upgrade to yfinance 0.1.62.

Upgrade using:

$ pip install yfinance --upgrade --no-cache-dir

Best, - Ran Aroussi

Thanks so much for this @ranaroussi!. pip install yfinance -U worked for me both on windows and linux. Thanks.

I'm getting the following error:

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /tmp/pip-install-49jbf0/lxml

Just me or is anyone else getting this?

Okay, it turns out that this was a just-me problem... I updated successfully but am still getting the same errors from before I updated. My test code:

import yfinance as yf handle = yf.Ticker("AOS") data = handle.info for thing in data: print(thing)

Where this segment of code used to return everything from company name, address, current price, etc., now just returns one single piece of data, tagged "logo_url."

NewCoder29 commented 3 years ago

Thank you so much, updating to pip install yfinance==0.1.62 fixed the issue.

I was going mad because my code was the exact same as yesterday! Thank you!

Solved

dsipler commented 3 years ago

Ranaroussi advised updating yfinance with "$ pip install yfinance -U--no-cache-dir"

Didn't work for me but I had luck with "pip install --upgrade yfinance"

My program is back to working. Thanks.

Matt-Schuering commented 3 years ago

This is awesome thank you. I had no problem updating it for PyCharm, but i can't get it in my Conda environment. For some reason i cannot find it. Any suggestions? Thanks

I had the same error with @kevinvud's above. I think it has something to do with the server. Also the newest version of yfinance I could access was 0.1.61 ERROR: No matching distribution found for yfinance==0.1.62

Try adding a user agent in base.py and modify the requests.get to include it in headers.. Pl see below:

self._scrape_url = 'https://finance.yahoo.com/quote' self._user_agent = {'User-Agent':'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/91.0.4472.124 Safari/537.36'} self._fundamentals = False ... data = _requests.get(url=url, params=params, proxies=proxy, headers=self._user_agent) ...

sundbladc commented 3 years ago

Yes, I'm still seeing the json error on 0.1.63. Edit: Tried yahoo_fin and that works for the same data, so I don't know if I have some misconfiguration or if there is still something with the yfinance package. yfínance is incredibly easy and useful so I hope I get it working soon. Edit 2: It works (0.1.63)! I don't know if it was the fiddling with yahoo_fin or a re-import somewhere, but now it scrapes flawlessly! Again, thanks to ranaroussi for this superb package!

Installed yfinance-0.1.63 and still getting JSON error. Bummed. Any other ideas? Thank you

Kingy21 commented 3 years ago

0162 works better than 0163. Using 0163 I have randomly missing data entries. Using 0163: 0163 Using 0162: 0162

ghost355 commented 3 years ago

Now everything woks fine! But I did't know what is it. I didn't change anything. Maybe it was yahoo problems?

ScottSharmal commented 3 years ago

Upgraded to 1.63. Here's my example code. Still getting JSON error. Any ideas? Please. thank you

import yfinance as yf import pandas as pd import numpy as np import statistics

tickerStrings = ['A','AA','AACG','AACQU','AACQW','AAIC','AAL']

for ticker in tickerStrings: try: data = yf.download(ticker, group_by="Ticker", period="3Y", interval="1wk",prepost = True) data['ticker'] = ticker data = data.json() data['SMA_20'] = data['Close'].rolling(20, min_periods=1).mean() data.tocsv(f'data{ticker}.csv') except: Exception

Kingy21 commented 3 years ago

here I post my debugging code here which can show the problem of 0163. 0162 is fine as I showed in the above post.

import pandas as pd import os, sys, warnings from pandas_datareader import data as pdr import datetime as dt import yfinance as yf

def GetSingleStock( ticker=['FGCKX','VWILX','FXAIX',], startyear=2018, startmonth=5, startday=1,

):

yf.pdr_override() #Activate yahoo finance workaround
now=dt.datetime.now()
start= dt.datetime(startyear, startmonth,startday) #Set starting time for datasample
cwd=r'C:\temp\StockData'
for t in ticker:

    FILENAME = '%s.csv' % (t)
    cname = cwd + os.sep + FILENAME
    df=pdr.get_data_yahoo(t,start,now,auto_adjust = True) #create panda dataframe with stock data
    df.to_csv(cname, mode='w', header=True,index=True) 

cname = cwd + os.sep +'FXAIX.csv' 
dataset = pd.read_csv(cname, index_col=0, parse_dates=True)
dat_fund = dataset[['Close',]]
dat_fund=dat_fund.rename(columns={"Close":'FXAIX'})

for fund in ['VWILX','FGCKX']:
   cname = cwd + os.sep +fund+'.csv' 
   temp = pd.read_csv(cname, index_col=0, parse_dates=True)
   dat_fund=dat_fund.join(temp['Close']).rename(columns={"Close": fund})
   print (dat_fund[-10:])   
dat_fund.to_csv ('debug.csv', mode='w',header=True,index=True)

BenjaminDKLuong commented 3 years ago

used pip install --upgrade yfinance upgrade to 0.1.63 resolved the issue for me.

make sure you reset your kernel

ScottSharmal commented 3 years ago

Got the 1.63 to work. the yfinance upgrade folder saved to C:\Python\Lib\site-packages. But the python sessions I'm using were referencing another site-packages folder. So I had to drag the new yfinance over the old. Whew. Got the groove back. Thank you

RobustCoder commented 3 years ago

got it for Anaconda..just needed to use the Anaconda prompt

Matt: what are the exact steps that you used to install the latest yfinance via Anaconda Terminal?

In my response to another post, I mention that I use the Anaconda Terminal and in it execute conda install -c ranaroussi yfinance but that this now fails for me with a PackagesNotFoundError.

pranjal-joshi commented 3 years ago

After upgrading to 0.1.63, It worked for the first time but afterwards, it stopped working again!

GabrieleTap commented 3 years ago

This worked for me:

pip uninstall yfinance
pip uninstall pandas-datareader
pip install yfinance --upgrade --no-cache-dir
pip install pandas-datareader

I am still getting this json.decoder.JSONDecodeError error ,even after upgrading yfinance , in pycharm which is using python 3.8 interpreter. And upon using Anaconda python interpreter I am getting AttributeError: module 'pandas' has no attribute 'DataFrame' when calling yf.Ticker() method.

milkywade commented 2 years ago

upgraded to yfinance-0.1.63. Pandas-datareader is up to date.

I am still experiencing several json.decoder.JSONDecodeError (4/726 stocks). Worst issue is that the yf.download call freezes the program so exception management is not possible and my program becomes useless.

See output below. Input stocks list here:
