I've used:
data = DataReader("yhoo", "yahoo", datetime.datetime(2000, 1, 1),
datetime.datetime.today())
in pandas (python) to get history data of yahoo, but it cannot show today's price (the market has not yet closed) how can I resolve such problem, thanks in advance.
import pandas
import pandas.io.data
import datetime
import urllib2
import csv
YAHOO_TODAY="http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%s&f=sd1ohgl1vl1"
def get_quote_today(symbol):
response = urllib2.urlopen(YAHOO_TODAY % symbol)
reader = csv.reader(response, delimiter=",", quotechar='"')
for row in reader:
if row[0] == symbol:
return row
## main ##
symbol = "TSLA"
history = pandas.io.data.DataReader(symbol, "yahoo", start="2014/1/1")
print history.tail(2)
today = datetime.date.today()
df = pandas.DataFrame(index=pandas.DatetimeIndex(start=today, end=today, freq="D"),
columns=["Open", "High", "Low", "Close", "Volume", "Adj Close"],
dtype=float)
row = get_quote_today(symbol)
df.ix[0] = map(float, row[2:])
history = history.append(df)
print "today is %s" % today
print history.tail(2)
just to complete perigee's answer, it cost me quite some time to find a way to append the data.
