Thank you

I have tried to download the stocks symbol and the currency but i am getting this error. It seems that the url adresss change.

Hi Benny,

I have tried running the script from PyCharm for Stocks and Indexs. I haven't tried the others. But, nothing gets returned.
it may be an issue with Yahoo's webpage. as when I put the URLs in below to a browser. Nothing is returned. can you confirm please.

https://finance.yahoo.com/lookup/?s=p&r=&m=ALL&t=S&b=0
https://finance.yahoo.com/lookup/?bypass=true&s=n&r=&m=ALL&t=S&b=0

Hi Benny, thanks for your script.
I have the same issues while installing reppy and I used the old version of yahoo ticker download as I read in other post.

I would like to ask you if the script in Europe is limited to germany and france?
Would it be possible to download more EU countries?? Spain, Italy, Portugal, Netherlands, Belgium, Finland, Austria for instance?

Thanks a lot!

I was confused when I saw that the output that I ended up with was a .pickle object, because the description of the package said that it outputs .json, .yaml and .xls files in addition to .csv. I ended up reading the pickle object into python and doing some data manipulation to get it out as a .csv. Is there another way to go about it?

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

ytd = pickle.load(open('stocks.pickle', 'rb'))
names = ytd.symbols.keys()
namesarr = numpy.asarray(names)
df = pd.DataFrame(namesarr,columns=['ticker'])
df.to_csv('stocks.csv')

Hi,

I keep receiving this message when doing

Do you know what could be causing this issue?

thanks

Hi,

I typed YahooTickerDownloader.py without any options, it ran for some time and then logged with the following exception:

First of all, thank you so much for developing this great tool. There is simply no other tools that do it better and simpler. As I use it to download symbols, I notice that it sometimes yields errors such as

UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character '\xe9' in position 30: ordinal not in range(128)

That leads me to another question: if I finish the first batch run of the downloader, meaning all queries are done once, can I simply run it again and hope that it can pick up those missing ones?

I'm getting the following Traceback when I run the script

Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:/Python27/Scripts/YahooTickerDownloader.py", line 144, in <module> main() File "c:/Python27/Scripts/YahooTickerDownloader.py", line 101, in main downloadEverything(downloader, tickerType, args.insecure) File "c:/Python27/Scripts/YahooTickerDownloader.py", line 46, in downloadEverything symbols = downloader.nextRequest(insecure) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\ytd\SymbolDownloader.py", line 88, in nextRequest html = self._fetchHtml(insecure) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\ytd\SymbolDownloader.py", line 40, in _fetchHtml resp = self.rsession.send(req) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\requests\sessions.py", line 576, in send r = adapter.send(request, **kwargs) File "c:\python27\lib\site-packages\requests\adapters.py", line 447, in send raise SSLError(e, request=request) requests.exceptions.SSLError: hostname 'finance.yahoo.com' doesn't match u'www.yahoo.com'

I'm not sure why it tries to match finance.yahoo.com with u'www.yahoo.com'. It obviously shouldn't match and I haven't been able to debug it.

Hi.
I'm new to this git and programming stuff, so please bear with me :)

if I query stocks I'm getting 22049 symbols from 9 exchanges. Since I'd love to have more I fiddled a bit around and got your tool to get 28094 symbols from 66 exchanges.

All I had to do was in the ytd/SymbolDownloader.py add " 'm' : 'all' " to params.

This now enables me to filter for stocks which are traded e.g. in Frankfurt which I find awesome ;)

dunno if you want to drop that line but I thought I'd share my idea (:

edith says: I'll try this branching and pull request stuff... let"s see...
edit2: I made a mistake. I was formerly pulling from de.finance.yahoo. Now back at finance.yahoo I get 105539 stocks from 69 exchanges. Still about 9k missing.

Compare the following two HTML files:
https://bennyjacobs.nl/issues/yahoo-finance/A1.html
https://bennyjacobs.nl/issues/yahoo-finance/A2.html

Both can be returned when fetching https://finance.yahoo.com/lookup/M?bypass=true&s=ma&b=148&m=ALL&t=m

Something like A1.html is returned sometimes. Its content is absolutely funny. It lists at item offset 148 while at the same item telling there are only 56 items in the list. And it lists totally different items.

This corrupts the results between runs. And one point you might have a few more results while another time you have a few less.

Here is another pair of HTML files:
https://bennyjacobs.nl/issues/yahoo-finance/B1.html
https://bennyjacobs.nl/issues/yahoo-finance/B2.html
Both returned by fetching https://finance.yahoo.com/lookup/B?s=c&b=360&m=ALL&t=B&bypass=true

At the moment I have no solution.

Hey Benny,

is this possible?

Thank you!

Is this a limitation set by Yahoo? If so, is there a work-around? Thanks!

Hi,
I am trying to get only stocks tickers passing the arg stocks to the command line however looking at the code it seems only generic(all) is available, is this expected?

Thanks

Hello: the following resulted when I typed

Only this works:

Any idea of what is going on?

Sometimes the Yahoo api returns a 404 with the following text:

Will be right back...
Thank you for your patience.
Our engineers are working quickly to resolve the issue.

At some times these 404's happen too often. Causing the script to exit.

Notes:
Occurs in 3.0.0

Since last week, the program is unable to access the yahoo finance data; retry 5 times the request and finally get a 404 Client error.
Is there any change in yahoo access?, how can I solve this?.
Anyone knows alternative ways for getting tickers symbols for free?
Attach the terminal output.
error.docx

Could you please provide an example on how I should write the name of the index?
Is it possible to download a list of all the tickers filtered by index right?

YahooTickerDownloader.py index='BIT' would work?

(I am not sure where to find the code of the index used by Yahoo)

Thanks

Hello

I have Python 3.3 (on Windows 7). Several months ago I ran this python script, and I got 14935 stock tickers by running "YahooTickerDownloader.py stocks"

I ran this same script again, but now I only get around 2700 tickers. I reran the script several times, but the number of tickers is always around this number.

Do you know what the problem is? I'd like to get an updated list of tickers for stocks, but I believe there are more than 2700.

Thank you

Tyre

Hey, I keep getting an SSL cert error in line 100 when I try to run it with python3.9. Still works in 2.7 though, so I'm using it in that environment. Awesome program, thanks!

Benny,

Thanks for your code.

My understanding is that yahoo will only accept 2000 requests on its API per hour from an ip authenticated client.

I would like to get a comprehensive list of available ticker symbols. I feel like slowing down your script might work.

What part of your code would a I have tweak in order to bring down the number of requests your script makes to 2000 per hour?

Am I on the right path here?

Expected result:
See only stocks

See a single ETF between all stocks

Is it a problem if building wheel fails during the download process? I haven't had a problem loading the downloaded stocks.pickle file using python, so I'm just wondering if there's any need for me to reinstall the package. This is the error that I get during the pip install process on a Mac OSX El Capitan:

Building wheels for collected packages: Yahoo-ticker-downloader
  Building wheel for Yahoo-ticker-downloader failed: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/Users/Yuqi/Library/Caches/pip/wheels/bd'

Hi, I'm unsure how to run a -e flag? could someone please let me know?
