YahooOptions not working properly #923
Description
So, I have tried to request options and calls using
import pandas_datareader.data as web FB = web.YahooOptions('FB') print(FB.expiry_dates) which yields
pandas_datareader._utils.RemoteDataError: Unable to read URL: https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/options/FB Response Text: b'Forbidden' Now, accessing that URL from the browser works fine. So I then tried to do a simple 'requests' get. It turned out:
response = requests.get("https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/options/FB") print(response.text) yields
Forbidden But if I add headers
headers = {'User-Agent': 'Firefox'} response = requests.get( "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/options/FB", headers=headers).json() I get the proper response.
Calls work the same...
Therefore, I think Yahoo is constraining its api no?
