I have seen some webcasts and need help in trying to do this: I have been using lxml.html. Yahoo recently changed the web structure.
target page;
http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/IBM/options?date=1469750400&straddle=true
In Chrome using inspector: I see the data in
//*[@id="main-0-Quote-Proxy"]/section/section/div[2]/section/section/table
then some more code
How Do get this data out into a list.
I want to change to other stock from "LLY" to "Msft"?
How do I switch between dates....And get all months.
Basing the Answer on @hoju:
import lxml.html
import calendar
from datetime import datetime
exDate = "2014-11-22"
symbol = "LLY"
dt = datetime.strptime(exDate, '%Y-%m-%d')
ym = calendar.timegm(dt.utctimetuple())
url = 'http://finance.yahoo.com/q/op?s=%s&date=%s' % (symbol, ym,)
doc = lxml.html.parse(url)
table = doc.xpath('//table[@class="details-table quote-table Fz-m"]/tbody/tr')
rows = []
for tr in table:
d = [td.text_content().strip().replace(',','') for td in tr.xpath('./td')]
rows.append(d)
print rows
