Getting Live Data

[Ingo Dahn]

Some time ago Sage had a function to pull live stock exchange data and that broke. 

Is there again any way to pull live data from some source?

It might help to see the error message - not many people here would
have an idea where this could come from.

See http://doc.sagemath.org/html/en/reference/finance/sage/finance/stock.html. I'd be interested in any alternative source for live data for use in statistics classes.

You see that it refers to a number of Sage tickets...

We can propose this as a Google Summer of Code project, to fix
some of what's fixable there.


Perhaps it would be better to rely on a special Python package for
this than to roll your own...

Haven't used it so I can't vouch for the quality, but https://pypi.org/project/yahoo-fin/ looks like it's been updated recently. At least installing it should be easy and then reshaping the data to fit in pandas or some sage data structure should be straightforward.

I don't think we'd want it to be a dependency for sage, but we certainly wouldn't want to *replicate* it in sage without a good reason.

Tickets whose summary includes "finance":

    https://trac.sagemath.org/query?order=id&desc=1&summary=~finance

have some information on the topic. The lost functionality

has not been recovered at this stage. If yahoo_fin provides

some of that functionality, it would be nice to include that

information in the discussion on those tickets, and ideally

in Sage's documentation.
