How to get remote from Yahoo Finance

According to the “datareader” official site, to access the remote Yahoo Finance Data, it is suggested to use the following code:

import pandas_datareader.data as pdr

df = pdr.DataReader(‘GOOG’, ‘yahoo’, start=’2019-09-01’, end=’2019-10-09’)

df.head()

These codes will pop up an error message: “TypeError: string indices must be integers”.

Here is a solution to help you to get the Yahoo Finance remote data.

At first, install yfinance by

pip3 install yfinance

Then, use the following codes:

import pandas_datareader.data as pdr
import yfinance as yfin

yfin.pdr_override()

df = pdr.get_data_yahoo(‘GOOG’, start=’2019-09-01’, end=’2019-10-09’)

df.head()

Run these codes, you will see the framed data sheet shown on the terminal.
