I've been using yfinance for some time and was working great. All of a sudden, I am getting this error (sporadically) on the "download" when I specifically use the following:

import yfinance as yf start = 'some valid date' end = 'another valid date' data = yf.download(tickers[x], start=starting_point, end=ending_point, progress=False)

The Peg Ratio value for "FE", First Energy seems to be wrong, according to Google Finance the value is 2.99 but yfinance returns 43.37 on my script. This is how i got this value:

import yfinance as yf

symbol = yf.Ticker("FE")

infos = (symbol.info)

print(infos['pegRatio'])

Output: 43.37

It works just fine with other stock which is why i don't really get what the problem seems to be.

Hallo I am keep getting an Error for different scripts her an exampl script: `tickers = gettickers('mdax') days = 30 returns, symbols = [], [] klines = {} for ticker in tickers[]: klines[ticker] = yf.download(ticker.upper(), interval='1d', period=f'{days}d', threads=False) if len(klines[ticker]) > 0:
cumret = (pd.DataFrame(klines[ticker])['Close'].astype(float).pct_change() + 1).prod() - 1 returns.append(cumret) symbols.append(ticker)

retdf = pd.DataFrame(returns, index=symbols, columns=['Return'])` print(retdf.Return.nlargest(3))

I am getting an Error thrown for different stocks each time. Did yahoo change its site? Is there a fix for the problem? This is the Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\User\Desktop\Python\pythonProject\stock\test_center.py", line 53, in klines[ticker] = yf.download(ticker.upper(), interval='1d', period=f'{days}d', threads=False) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\yfinance\multi.py", line 102, in download data = _download_one(ticker, period=period, interval=interval, File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\yfinance\multi.py", line 181, in download_one return Ticker(ticker).history(period=period, interval=interval, File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\yfinance\base.py", line 179, in history data = data.json() File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 910, in json return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\json_init.py", line 346, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\json\decoder.py", line 337, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python39\lib\json\decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Process finished with exit code 1

Any ideas on the error below?

My code works fine on windows locally on my laptop, it basically pulls data for a group of 5000 stocks 1 by 1. When i try to run it onlinus most of the symbols work fine, but i seem to get this error a handfull of times during the loop.

Any ideas what might be causing it, i already have it wrapped in a try/except ststement but the error weirdly still shows (and the code continues if i use ctrl+c)

Any help appreciated.

Hi, I couldn't find a way to access earnings date history for a given ticker. It would be great if could be added to the library. Data seem to be easyly accessible:

` web_request = requests.get(url='https://finance.yahoo.com/calendar/earnings?symbol=TD.TO',headers=headers)

web_tables = pd.read_html( web_request.text)

print(web_tables[0]) ` Thanks!

Hi, I am using yfinance daily. Thank you very much for support! But today I received on all scripts I am using this error: Something changed with new version that is causing this?

There are futures indexes that trade on Saturday and Sunday that are tracked by Yahoo Finance. These indexes are denoted with tickers such as:

ES=F is ^GSPC futures RTY=F is Russell 2000 futures MNQ=F is NASDAQ futures

The yfinance package does not return the Saturday and Sunday values for these kinds of tickers. I've been looking for where in the yfinance code the Saturday and Sunday values are dropped but I can't find it. Perhaps the data is not returned in the first place.

Current yfinance 0.1.75 raises an exception when running the following:

I have used yfinance for a while using a very old mac and haven't had any problems. I recently upgraded my computer to Windows 11 and am trying to run basic yfinance functions like yf.download in jupyter notebook on a chrome browser and I keep gettting the error message "No data found for this date range, symbol may be delisted" as well as error 10060. I have tried downgrading to older library versions and using the "pip install yfinance --upgrade --no-cache-dir" recommended fix but I am still getting this problem. The workaround I came up with is to keep retrying the yf.download and sleeping for a couple seconds if it fails. It seems to eventually download after around 10 tries or so but this doesn't seem to be the most elegant solution. I have tried changing my firewall settings and it doesn't seem like my computer is blocking anything. I am pretty stumped, if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate it!

Values for example EBIT or Gross Profit are always diferent. I cheked differend companies (IBM, Google, Deutsche Wohnen and so on). The values are always different between webside and yfinance

a part of the code: IBM = yf.Ticker("IBM") print(IBM.financials)

then compare the values between the site (see link) and output values from python instruction.

I tried the code in the example of yfinance and it returns an error. Code: import yfinance as yf msft = yf.Ticker("MSFT")

get stock info

msft.info

get historical market data

hist = msft.history(period="max") Error: Traceback (most recent call last):

Whenever I try to get ebitda data for a specific ticker it returns a number that doesn't match the website. An example as of 1/4/23 would be:

msft = yf.Ticker("MSFT")

msft.info['ebitda']

98841001984

The yahoo finance website shows the number as:

yfinance version = 0.2.3

I am trying to find correlations between tickets in differnet timezone (one in the New York Stock exchange and the other in the London Stock Exchange). Due to changes to the timezone logic, the data in each row of yfinance.download are no longer the data of the Tickets at the same time. Using ignore_tz=False fixes this problem. This problem didn't exist with version 0.1.77 and previous. So I think by default ignore_tz should be set to True as that behaviour is consistent with the previous minor versions.

• The error message
  • - NVDA: OperationalError('database is locked')

When running the multithread download from my flask server in Docker image, I sometime saw this error message, the failed symbol can be different one. The failing symbol will still produce empty dataset.

Any suggestion on how to know there is an error when calling yf.download(threads=True) or is there a way to fix the sqlite database lock issue? (Maybe by increasing the timeout?)

Yahoo applies dividend-adjustment back in time - a dividend affects all older prices, but not future prices. Fine if Yahoo is consistent and implements correctly. But for weekly & monthly intervals containing a dividend before last working day, Yahoo is adjusting the close price. Example:

tkr = "I3E.L"
dat = yf.Ticker(tkr)

• Daily prices:

df = dat.history(start="2022-11-07", end="2022-11-14", interval="1d", auto_adjust=False)
df[["Close","Adj Close","Dividends"]]

| Date | Close | Adj Close | Dividends | | - | - | - | - | | 2022-11-07 00:00:00+00:00 | 24.600000 | 24.451147 | 0.0000 | | 2022-11-08 00:00:00+00:00 | 24.500000 | 24.351751 | 0.0000 | | 2022-11-09 00:00:00+00:00 | 23.549999 | 23.407499 | 0.0000 | | 2022-11-10 00:00:00+00:00 | 23.500000 | 23.500000 | 0.1425 | | 2022-11-11 00:00:00+00:00 | 23.500000 | 23.500000 | 0.0000 |

Dividend is mid-week so Friday close not affected.

• Weekly prices:

df = dat.history(start="2022-11-07", end="2022-11-14", interval="1wk", auto_adjust=False)
df[["Close","Adj Close","Dividends"]]

| Date | Close | Adj Close | Dividends | | - | - | - | - | | 2022-11-07 00:00:00+00:00 | 23.5 | 23.357803 | 0.1425

Yahoo has applied mid-week dividend adjustment forward to Friday close, wrong! Problem also exists in monthly data.

This also means how yfinance adjusts the high & low via auto_adjust is wrong. Currently is doing adjust(week high) when it should be max(adjusted daily highs).

Solution

Only way to correct is for yfinance to fetch 1d data and group to create weekly/monthly data. Any opposition to correcting this? Because means contradicting Yahoo's Adj Close on history page.
