Yahoo returning: pandas_datareader._utils.RemoteDataError: Unable to read URL:

[canivel]

I always use the call to the service like this:

import datetime as dt
import pandas_datareader.data as web

start_date = dt.datetime(2008,1,1)
end_date = dt.datetime(2009,1,1)
web.DataReader('GOOG', 'yahoo', start_date, end_date)

Today I'm getting:

pandas_datareader._utils.RemoteDataError: Unable to read URL: http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv

Is yahoo off?

from google finance it comes ok.

Thanks

[canivel]

I tried in two different networks still getting the same error, so it's no a network block

[femtotrader]

It works fine on my side.

Feel free to reopen if you still facing this issue.

startDate = datetime.datetime(2016, 8, 15)

endDate = datetime.datetime(2016, 8, 17)

Looks like another user has encountered this error:

[tavito]

It started working again! I did not have to do anything about it. Thank you!

[jefftham]

NO. it happens again. Both yahoo and google is NOT working now.

[dyyyl]

Hey everyone,

So I was looking into this, and came up with the hackiest solution ever. BRK-B and BF-B were listed on wikipedia as BRK.B and BF.B, respectively. A lot of people were scraping the ticker list directly from Wikipedia, so I edited the names to line up with Yahoo and everything is working for me now!

[arkilis]

Still not working. The issue happens occasionally.

[SutharMukesh]

did anyone get any solution?

I've created a script to download historical data for a bunch of stocks.
the for loop just breaks in between with this error.

RemoteDataError: Unable to read URL: https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/BAC?period1=1427826600&period2=1522693800&interval=1d&crumb=b2hWv%5Cu002F6x.l2&events=history

agreed to @arkilis

Facing this problem in 2021 july Now

[KatieMarsh]

how long does it usually take to get back to working again?

[lefteyecct]

can't believe it worked ever?

[lefteyecct]

[AndrianAru]

The following version should still work

Edit: forgot to change something in the first version. This one works for me at least

from datetime import datetime
import yfinance as yf
import pandas_datareader.data as pdr
import pandas as pd

yf.pdr_override()

start = datetime.strptime('2011-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d')
end = datetime.strptime('2020-01-01', '%Y-%m-%d')

sp500 = pdr.get_data_yahoo("^GSPC", start, end)['Adj Close']

[TheR3njithR]

its still down :(

[abdulvaseem123]

How much time does it take still down!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[maximilianreisinger]

Still down right??

[abdulvaseem123]

Yes, Still Down

[TheR3njithR]

seems like the wait is forever

[akhil14shukla]

mine is still down!!

[lefteyecct]

I download the dataset from yahoo finance as a workaround if this helps anyone here

[gho21]

wow! the code AndrianAru posted worked!

[NewCodingStudent]

Does anyone know how to write AndrianAru's code to CSV? Thank you!

I tried this, but it didn't work...

sp500[["Adj Close"]].to_csv (r'C:\Users\j\export_dataframe.csv')

[gho21]

pdr.get_data_yahoo("^GSPC", start, end)['Adj Close'].to_csv('GSPC.csv')

[NewCodingStudent]

Thank you AndrianAru & gho21. It worked!

[abdulvaseem123]

Anybody able to get todays data(7/2/2021) using yf??

[abdulvaseem123]

kindly please let me know if anyone able to extract todays data from yf ??

[PhilEats]

As AndrianAru & gho21 pointed out before, you can try using this. In my case everything worked fine with this codeline:

import yfinance as yf
import pandas_datareader.data as pdr

yf.pdr_override()

ticker = 'TSLA'
start_date = '01-01-2010'
end_date = '03-07-2021'


def download_data(symbol, source, start_date, end_date):
    start = datetime.strptime(start_date, '%d-%m-%Y')
    end = datetime.strptime(end_date, '%d-%m-%Y')
    df = pdr.get_data_yahoo(symbol, data_source=source, start=start, end=end)
    return df

[jcsvpn]

Pulling data for baba
Error: Unable to read URL

getting this error from yesterday. Can anyone help me?

[burkart-analytics]

Try the AndrianAru solution (the problem is the date format):

import yfinance as yf
import pandas_datareader.data as pdr

yf.pdr_override()

start_date = '01-01-2010'
end_date = '03-07-2021'

start = datetime.strptime(start_date, '%d-%m-%Y')
end = datetime.strptime(end_date, '%d-%m-%Y')
df = pdr.get_data_yahoo('AAPL', data_source='yahoo', start=start, end=end)
df

end = datetime.strptime(end_date, '%d-%m-%Y')
df = pdr.get_data_yahoo('AAPL', data_source='yahoo', start=start, end=end)
df

TKS a lot. it can work.

Had exact same issue as above and this seems to work! Right now, at least

[ashraf999]

I am getting the same error. Is this service down now?

[akhil14shukla]

Code by AndrianAru is working fine. Try with that one!

[aldsouza4]

hope AndrianAru's code dosent stop working too
i made a website out of this http://stock-toolkit.herokuapp.com/
do check it if u got the time
ps its for indian stocks only

[ithotline]

Code by AndrianAru did not work for me - Below code did thoug:

import yfinance as yf

import pandas as pd

data = yf.download("Ticker_Symbol", period ="1d")

[burkart-analytics]

@ithotline try the code below, because without the "tail" its returning two lines, I test it in google colab and works fine

data = yf.download("AAPL", period ="1d").tail(1)
