Problem with get_price(), even after the USD / COP market has opened #65

Open ma1onso opened 8 years ago

ma1onso commented 8 years ago

Hello, we’re experiencing an issue that you might help us clarify. When using the method get_price(), sometimes in the morning, even after the USD / COP market has opened, we still get the prior market day’s price, instead of the spot value. Is this something related to Yahoo’s service or is it something we might find a solution for?

Thanks

@alons45 thank you for creating a issue. Can you past here output with error traceback? That will help a lot.

ma1onso commented 8 years ago

@lukaszbanasiak i have not traceback error, the get_price() method not get real value for currency when market has open, compare with Yahoo Finance web page: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/COP=X?p=COP=X

@alons45 Please remember that Yahoo Finance API is not real-time but delayed by 15 minutes

Hello again :smile: @lukaszbanasiak but my delay is one, two o three hours in the mornings :(.

Same issue here, nearly half of the results from get_price() are price from previous day.

Code:

from yahoo_finance import Share import time yahoo = Share('AAPL') while True: yahoo.refresh() print yahoo.get_price(), yahoo.get_trade_datetime() time.sleep(5)

results:

@conraddd I will made some additional tests, data are from Yahoo endpoint so that's very wired :)

It seems like the issue is from yahoo's end. https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.quotes%20where%20symbol%20%3D%20%27aapl%27&format=json&env=store%3A%2F%2Fdatatables.org%2Falltableswithkeys
