Pydata-book: XML and HTML: Web scraping

Created on 6 Mar 2017  路  3Comments  路  Source: wesm/pydata-book

Hi, Wes. In Chapter 6, there's one part that's kind of outdated:

XML and HTML, Web scraping
NB. The Yahoo! Finance API has changed and this example no longer works

Do you mind revise that part and present us a v2.0?

@jingw222 you can still replicate the exercises in Python for Data Analysis using the pandas_datareader library. See https://github.com/pydata/pandas-datareader

import pandas_datareader as pdr
pdr.get_data_yahoo('AAPL')

I am removing the Yahoo! Finance example (since who knows what Yahoo! will look like a few years from now even) for the 2nd edition
