I tried to pull data on a stock symbol using the Yahoo finance python module. I checked the other questions that are on a similar topic and most of them say to try to run the program during market hours, but that does not help.
This is my code:
import yfinance as yf
yf.download('QQQ', '2020-01-01', dt.datetime.now().strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
This is the error:
No data found for this date range, symbol may be delisted
But clearly the symbol exists:
I can't reproduce the issue on 0.2.18 (latest) :

You may just need to pip install --upgrade yfinance. Or, use this (as per GH1268) :
import pandas as pd;yf.download('QQQ', '2020-01-01', pd.Timestamp.now())
