Google Finance: How big is a normal delay for historical stock data or is something broken?


I tried to download historical data from Google with this code:

import pandas_datareader.data as wb
import datetime

web_df = wb.DataReader("ETR:DAI", 'google',
                       datetime.date(2017,9,1),
                       datetime.date(2017,9,7))
print(web_df)

and got this:

             Open   High    Low  Close   Volume
Date                                           
2017-09-01  61.38  62.16  61.22  61.80  3042884
2017-09-04  61.40  62.01  61.31  61.84  1802854
2017-09-05  62.01  62.92  61.77  62.42  3113816

My question: Is this a normal delay or is something broken?

Also I would want to know: Have you noticed that Google has removed the historical data pages at Google Finance? Is this a hint that the will remove or allready have removed the download option for historical stock data, too?


Solution

  • google finance using pandas has stopped working since last night, I am trying to figure out.I have also noticed that the links to the historical data on their website is removed.
