How to use GOOGLE as a data source for pandas data reader?


I wanted to get the data from google source but i am encountering some error

here is my code --

from pandas_datareader import data
import datetime
start=datetime.datetime(2020,1,1)
end=datetime.datetime(2020,6,30)
print(data.DataReader("TSLA",'google',start,end))

Error I am encountering:

NotImplementedError                       Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-25-a7c6d692c622> in <module>
      1 start=datetime.datetime(2020,1,1)
      2 end=datetime.datetime(2020,6,30)
----> 3 print(data.DataReader("TSLA",'google',start,end))

    374     if data_source not in expected_source:
    375         msg = "data_source=%r is not implemented" % data_source
--> 376         raise NotImplementedError(msg)
    377 
    378     if data_source == "yahoo":

NotImplementedError: data_source='google' is not implemented

Solution

  • Prevalent opinion on the network is, that 'google' as data source has been discontinued.

    Other sources, like yahoo and Alpha Vantage, do function.
