Question

Maybe an update of the video with a code that works. It's clear this code is deprecated. We need something clean & reliable

Answer 1

Hi Patrick!

Thanks for reaching out.

Thank you for your request. The issue is that Yahoo Finance currently requires registration. And all finance data providers have been recently going through changes quite often. Therefore, we've provided *.csv files you can use to complete the course successfully.

For using online data - please consider using yfinance, I think it is currently in a better state than Yahoo.

Once we conclude the online financial data providers are in a more stable state, we will either update the lectures or post a new announcement/article/lecture!

Hope this helps.
Best,
Martin

Answer 3

Hi Behrooz!

Thanks for reaching out.

You can find the *.csv files in the Resources sections of the course lectures!

Hope this helps.

Answer 5

Hi Mohamed!

Thanks for reaching out.

1. Regarding the lecture for which this thread was opened, just look at the "Resources" button on the right of the lecture's name:

https://learn.365datascience.com/cour
ses/python-for-finance/importing-and-organizing-data-in-python-part-i/

Download the second, exercise file.

2. In general, in the *.csv files you will find data that will help you complete the course and study the whole material we've been teaching.
If you'd like to practice with up-to-date data, pandas-datareader has not lately been updated. Therefore, please refer to yahoo finance for that. The structure of the code you'd need is:

import yfinance as yf
 
PG = yf.download("company_tickers", start="1995-01-01", auto_adjust=True)

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Martin
