Pandas-datareader: ImmediateDeprecationError raise when trying to get data from yahoo

Created on 18 Mar 2018 · 27Comments · Source: pydata/pandas-datareader

Hello,

I am quite confused about the new module pandas_datareader.
As I learn from the website, pandas.io is changed to this new module. But there occurs a new issue, and I cannot find the same issue that anyone has ever met.
Would you please give me some advice on how to get data correctly by pandas_datareader module?

import pandas as pd
import datetime
import pandas_datareader.data as web
start = datetime.datetime(2010,1,1)
end = datetime.datetime(2015,1,1)
df = web.DataReader('XOM','yahoo',start,end)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
File "D:\program file\python27\lib\site-packages\pandas_datareader\data.py", l
ine 291, in DataReader
raise ImmediateDeprecationError(DEP_ERROR_MSG.format('Yahoo Daily'))
pandas_datareader.exceptions.ImmediateDeprecationError:
Yahoo Daily has been immediately deprecated due to large breaks in the API witho
ut the
introduction of a stable replacement. Pull Requests to re-enable these data
connectors are welcome.

I got a solution by using this package
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/fix-yahoo-finance

from pandas_datareader import data as pdr
import datetime
import fix_yahoo_finance as yf
yf.pdr_override()

pdr.get_data_yahoo('AAPL',
start=datetime.datetime(2006, 10, 1),
end=datetime.datetime(2012, 1, 1))

same problem:

This is the correct PDR. Yahoo changed their API and was not working when
0.6 was released.

@jingsupo Hi jingsupo! I tried your method, it still indicated 'Yahoo Actions has been immediately deprecated...'. My pandas-datareader==0.6.0, do I need to update it? Really need such data, hope you can help me. Thanks.

Xinye3 on 20 Mar 2018

@jingsupo That is quite strange. I have also tried your method, but still get error response.
When I try to get data from other company, for example google, there will be no error but timeout. Maybe this timeout is due to GFW, I don't care about it.
It seems only yahoo will cause this error

@panfeng-espressif 也许吧，我是开了VPN的，哈哈

但是我刚刚把VPN关了测试了一下，依然可以成功从yahoo获取数据，但无法从google获取数据。

jingsupo on 20 Mar 2018

@jingsupo Hi jingsupo, It's still wrong! maybe I was in the another planet. I will try to use VPN.

I recommend reading the message in the deprecation. It explains why yahoo doesn't work in 0.6 or earlier.

I rolled back my install to version 0.5.0 and it works again. Hope it works for others.

@SecondJob That's really works for me. Thank you very much for sharing the solution.

panfeng-espressif on 27 Mar 2018

@SutharMukesh I haven't tried your method of solving this issue. It seems that it would work effectively. I just come back to pandas_datareader version 0.5.0

panfeng-espressif on 27 Mar 2018

Thanks! Rolling back to version 0.5 works fine.
