4. Install Requests sudo pip install requests
5. Install Requests-HTML sudo pip install requests_html (this one is requires Python 3.6 and is used with trading-view data provider)

Installation

Please, do the following:

1. You need to obtain a valid API key for SMS.RU service
2. You need to create a file key.txt, and insert the API key into the file
