Error when downloading market data from yahoo finance

Question

I have tried downloading market data from yahoo finance, but I kept on running into error. Here is my code:

import yfinance as yf

#import data of different asset classes
VT = yf.download("VT",interval="1d", start="2017-01-01", end="2021-01-01") #stocks
BND = yf.download("BND",interval="1d", start="2017-01-01", end="2021-01-01") #bonds
VNQ = yf.download("VNG",interval="1d", start="2017-01-01", end="2021-01-01") #real estate
DBC = yf.download("DBC",interval="1d", start="2017-01-01", end="2021-01-01") #commodities

This Error shows up:

KeyboardInterrupt                         Traceback (most recent call last)

Answer 1

Try This:

import datetime as dt
import pandas as pd
import yfinance as yf
from pandas_datareader import data as pdr

tickers = ["AAPL","GOOG","AMZN"]
yf.download(tickers,  start = "2021-02-01" , end = "2021-02-04")

Answer 2

your queries are fine, it looks like a timing issue between your network and Yahoo finance, you might want to add a delay between requests or retry look up retry
