Hi, Wes. In Chapter 6, there's one part that's kind of outdated:

XML and HTML, Web scraping NB. The Yahoo! Finance API has changed and this example no longer works

Do you mind revise that part and present us a v2.0?

I am removing the Yahoo! Finance example (since who knows what Yahoo! will look like a few years from now even) for the 2nd edition

@jingw222 you can still replicate the exercises in Python for Data Analysis using the pandas_datareader library. See https://github.com/pydata/pandas-datareader

import pandas_datareader as pdr pdr.get_data_yahoo('AAPL')

Fixed in 2nd edition
