403 when getting historical data

[kartickvad]

Thanks for building and running this project.

I'm trying to run the sample code from https://pypi.org/project/investpy/:

import investpy

df = investpy.get_stock_historical_data(stock='AAPL',
                                        country='United States',
                                        from_date='01/01/2010',
                                        to_date='01/01/2020')
print(df.head())

and I'm getting a 403:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File ["Untitled.py", line 5](coderunner://Untitled.py#5:0!), in <module>
    df = investpy.get_stock_historical_data(stock='AAPL',
  File ["/Users/kartick/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/investpy/stocks.py", line 664](coderunner:///Users/kartick/Library/Python/3.8/lib/python/site-packages/investpy/stocks.py#664:0!), in get_stock_historical_data
    raise ConnectionError(
ConnectionError: ERR#0015: error 403, try again later.

I tried five times over 12 hours, so it's not transient.

Is there another way to make it work? Apologies if it's a mistake on my side.

Your command should work. Did you try again (much) later?

[kartickvad]

I tried now, and it again didn't work.

[ymyke]

Strange. It works when I run it.

Maybe you're blocked for good by investing.com for some reason? Did you access the site excessively?

You could try to change your IP address w a VPN software.

[kartickvad]

Thanks for helping. I tried tethering via my phone, and the same problem occurs.

[ymyke]

Very odd – your code works as expected in my environment.

[ymyke]

Can you access investing.com from a browser and lookup AAPL?

[kartickvad]

Works.

[ymyke]

Then I can't think of anything else I'm afraid.

Same here. This stopped working today:
ibex = investpy.get_index_historical_data(index='IBEX Total Return', country='spain', from_date='01/01/2020', to_date='01/01/2021')
I also tried changing my ip but it didn't work...

[Exganza]

Same here, Stopped working today ->

tasi = investpy.indices.get_index_historical_data('Tadawul All Share', country='Saudi Arabia', from_date='01/01/2019', to_date=today, as_json=False, interval='Daily')

[mobinzk]

I've the same issue, from my investigation https://www.investing.com/instruments/HistoricalDataAjax seems to be discontinued!

[rgerbranda]

Same issue here, investpy stopped working yesterday, error 403

search_result = investpy.search_quotes(text='BE0026549684', countries=['belgium'], n_results=1)

recent_data = search_result.retrieve_recent_data()

Hi everyone, please check #600, I'm currently fixing it, the patch shouldn't take too long! Hopefully by the end of the day 😄

I'll post more information at https://twitter.com/alvarobartt/status/1570661023262310402

Hi, alvarobartt

When will you fix "get_currency_cross_historical_data"?

[webdevzilla]

Hello everyone!

As a temporary (or permanent) solution, I have built an API that will bypass Cloudflare.

Using it is as simple as prefixing your current GET requests with this: http://api.scraperlink.com/investpy/?email=your@email.com&url=

Example:

http://api.scraperlink.com/investpy/?email=your@email.com&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.investing.com%2Fapi%2Ffinancialdata%2Fhistorical%2F7%3Fstart-date%3D2022-09-29%26end-date%3D2022-09-29%26time-frame%3DDaily%26add-missing-rows%3Dfalse

Please be sure to replace "email" with your actual one if you want to receive updates. I want to be able to alert everyone if something breaks. It doesn't verify email addresses, so if you don't care for that, you can plug any email address.

It also supports historical data for stocks, cryptos and currencies. You can learn more here: https://api.scraperlink.com/investpy

If you guys need more functionality or data points added, just let me know.

Hope this helps!
