Hi guys, thanks for your great work! I wrote a similar function for fetching the intraday google data in R, but as of today the URL is no longer responding, as it directs to the normal google finance website and not to the one with the data table. Any idea whether the API is deprecated or has the URL just changed? Anyone familiar with the new URL?

Hi, I have the same problem as simonskok, the URL seems to been stopped working, is the URL changed or does google have stopped their API?

needs to convert to python code, can some one help to get datetime, open, high, low,close,vol values from this

Well, with the file $f you get from Yahoo, I wrote a script that uses an old version of gawk and"jq" (maybe json2csv would have been easier..)
You can modify it to change columns and to remove "empty minutes"...

cat $f | jq -r '[.[] | {result:
 [.result[].timestamp,
 .result[].indicators.quote[].close,
 .result[].indicators.quote[].high,
 .result[].indicators.quote[].low,
 .result[].indicators.quote[].open,
 .result[].indicators.quote[].volume
 | @csv] } ] '  | gawk -F"," ' BEGIN {
        nrec=1
}
NF > 2 {
        gsub(/\"/,"")
        for(i=1; i<=NF; i++)
        arr[nrec, i] = $i
        tt=NF
        nrec++
}
END {
        for (t=1;t < tt; t++)
        {
        printf "%d,", arr[1,t]
        for (v=2;v < 6; v++)
                printf "%7.3f,", arr[v,t]
        printf "%d\n", arr[6,t]
        }
}'

Then to convert the timestamp $1 in HH:MM:SS, using variables h, m, s:

s=$(date +%s)
let re=s%86400
let midn=s-re-7200 (that's for my timezone ;-) , modify it using date +%z)

                ds=$1-midn             
                h=ds/3600;
                hre=ds % 3600
                m=hre/60
                s=hre % 60

Here is a script that pulls 60 minute data from yahoo. Copy the contents below into python2.x file. Pass the symbol as the variable. You can change the data interval at the line on bottom of the code.

import requests

from pprint import pprint

symbol1 = sys.argv[1]
symbolname = symbol1
symbol1 = symbol1.upper()

def get_quote_data(symbol='iwm', data_range='1d', data_interval='60m'):
res = requests.get('https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/{symbol}?range={data_range}&interval={data_interval}'.format(**locals()))
data = res.json()
body = data['chart']['result'][0]
dt = datetime.datetime
dt = pd.Series(map(lambda x: arrow.get(x).to('EST').datetime.replace(tzinfo=None), body['timestamp']), name='dt')
df = pd.DataFrame(body['indicators']['quote'][0], index=dt)
dg = pd.DataFrame(body['timestamp'])
return df.loc[:, ('open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume')]

q = jpy5m = get_quote_data(symbol1, '2d', ' 60m')

Thanks carly11, very smart code

Modified your code to Python3.65 and made small changes

`import requests
import pandas as pd
import arrow
import datetime

def get_quote_data(symbol='SBIN.NS', data_range='1d', data_interval='1m'):
res = requests.get('https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/{symbol}?range={data_range}&interval={data_interval}'.format(**locals()))
data = res.json()
body = data['chart']['result'][0]
dt = datetime.datetime
dt = pd.Series(map(lambda x: arrow.get(x).to('EST').datetime.replace(tzinfo=None), body['timestamp']), name='Datetime')
df = pd.DataFrame(body['indicators']['quote'][0], index=dt)
dg = pd.DataFrame(body['timestamp'])

return df.loc[:, ('open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume')]

data = get_quote_data('SBIN.NS', '1d', '1m')
data.dropna(inplace=True) #removing NaN rows
print(data)`

When i changed EST to IST (Indian standard time) it throws an error as "ParserError: Could not parse timezone expression "IST" "

Do you have anyidea so that it reflect datetime column correctly

I am able to change to Indian standard time by using 'Asia/Calcutta'. Referred this from link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/SpiRaiL/timezone/master/timezone.py

Modified code which now works for IST is:

import arrow
import datetime

def get_quote_data(symbol='SBIN.NS', data_range='1d', data_interval='1m'):
    res = requests.get('https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/{symbol}?range={data_range}&interval={data_interval}'.format(**locals()))
    data = res.json()
    body = data['chart']['result'][0]    
    dt = datetime.datetime
    dt = pd.Series(map(lambda x: arrow.get(x).to('Asia/Calcutta').datetime.replace(tzinfo=None), body['timestamp']), name='Datetime')
    df = pd.DataFrame(body['indicators']['quote'][0], index=dt)
    dg = pd.DataFrame(body['timestamp'])
    
    return df.loc[:, ('open', 'high', 'low', 'close', 'volume')]

data = get_quote_data('SBIN.NS', '1d', '1m')

I noticed that yahoo data is not constant. For 1 minute, i observed that data gives differently for the same time period.

When i run the above python code, it should be the same for data, as long as i run any number of times.

Can someone have idea on this? Also this data is not exactly matching to actual exchange data.

I am not sure, why there is a difference. If anybody have idea then please post your comments.

Observed that there are many empty values while extracting data.

So i used df.dropna(inplace=True) #removing NaN rows

Infact the above line is not needed. We need to get good quality data, which is missing from above link.

HI All,
The yahoo finance API seems to be stuck at March 28th 2019 and not returning any data post that. I am trying to import data for the NIFTYBANK NSE Index and also tried for other stocks as well. Are others also facing the same problem and can anyone suggest some alternatives for 1minute Data Provider for NSE Stocks.
