as probably many others i got very comfortable with the Yahoo Finance API. Now I got finally around to consider alternatives. I signed up to Quandl, got my KEY. so far so good..
When I tried to request a very basic data set:
import pandas as pd
import quandl
QUANDL_KEY = '{dnyYEnFxwxxxxxxxxxxxxxx}'
quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = QUANDL_KEY
df_quandl = quandl.get(dataset='WIKI/AAPL',start_date='2000-01-01',end_date='2010-12-31')
I get the following error message:
LimitExceededError: (Status 429) (Quandl Error QELx01) You have exceeded the anonymous user limit of 50 calls per day. To make more calls today, please register for a free Quandl account and then include your API key with your requests.
I have activated my account and I am definitively within the allowed amount of requests. I am probably overlooking something trivial.. Can someone help? Many thanks for your help in advance!
Had the same question and it worked out by just writing
quandl.ApiConfig.api_key = 'i6k_ftcyxxxxxxxxxxx'
mydata_01 = quandl.get("FRED/GDP")
Don' forget to confirm your email or an error will appear again...
