Temporary fix for Pandas Datareader's get_data_yahoo()
Project description
Yahoo! Finance Fix for Pandas Datareader
fix-yahoo-finance offers a temporary fix to the problem by using Selenium to scrape the data from Yahoo! finance and return a Pandas DataFrame/Panel in the same format as the original get_data_yahoo() method.
Yahoo! finance has decommissioned their historical data API, causing many programs that relied on the get_data_yahoo() to stop working.
By basically “hijacking” pandas_datareader.data.get_data_yahoo() method, fix-yahoo-finance’s implantation is easy and only requires to import fix_yahoo_finance into your code.
Quick Start
from pandas_datareader import data as pdr
import fix_yahoo_finance # <== that's all it takes :-)
# download dataframe
data = pdr.get_data_yahoo("SPY", start="2017-01-01", end="2017-04-30")
# download Panel
data = pdr.get_data_yahoo(["SPY", "IWM"], start="2017-01-01", end="2017-04-30")I’ve also added some options to make life easier :)
Below is the full list of acceptable parameters:
data = pdr.get_data_yahoo(
# tickers list (single tickers accepts a string as well)
tickers = ["SPY", "IWM", "..."],
# start date (YYYY-MM-DD / datetime.datetime object)
# (optional, defaults is 1950-01-01)
start = "2017-01-01",
# end date (YYYY-MM-DD / datetime.datetime object)
# (optional, defaults is Today)
end = "2017-04-30",
# return a multi-index dataframe
# (optional, default is Panel, which is deprecated)
as_panel = False,
# group by ticker (to access via data['SPY'])
# (optional, default is 'column')
group_by = 'ticker',
# adjust all OHLC automatically
# (optional, default is False)
auto_adjust = True
