Setting up stock data

[CasaOSuser01]

Hi

I have it up and running for cryptocurrency after putting in the api key, however id also like it to display stocks too but every stock ticker i input like NVDA it cant find.

Im pretty new to this so unsure if i am missing something very obvious. even the default one SPY isnt found.

logs:
Failed to get ticker 'NVDA' reason: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='fc.yahoo.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x6ece00d0>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))
$NVDA: possibly delisted; no price data found (period=5d)

Thanks in advance

Can you ssh onto to the rpi with the tinyticker user, and run:
python -c 'import yfinance as yf; print(yf.Ticker("NVDA").history("5d"))'

Hi @loiccoyle
Thanks for getting back

I am trying to ssh into the pi, i can get into the standard user but not the tinyticker one, is the password different to the default? (i used the image for set up so didnt do any of the manual stuff)

[loiccoyle]

yeah check the bottom of this page:

https://loiccoyle.com/tinyticker/

there are two users, the pi user is left unchanged to that you can do whatever you want, and all the tinyticker stuff is contained in the tinyticker user.

Totally missed the webpage! thanks

Ran the script and i get the error-
Failed to get ticker 'NVDA' reason: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='fc.yahoo.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x70618110>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 111] Connection refused'))
$NVDA: possibly delisted; no price data found (period=5d)
Empty DataFrame
Columns: [Open, High, Low, Close, Adj Close, Volume]
Index: []

Seems to be largely the same as the log from the web ui

its not what i do but it seems it cant pull stock info from yahoo anymore, maybe an api or cert issue?

[loiccoyle]

hm so it isn't really tinyticker related, it seems that you're having issues connecting with the api yfinance uses to fetch the data. Do you have a vpn or something which could be connection issues?

[CasaOSuser01]

Not a network wide VPN, i do have a unbound pihole working on my network could this be blocking the connection?

[loiccoyle]

no idea, I would just try turning off and seeing if it changes anything.

[CasaOSuser01]

i just tried by tethering it to my phones hotspot on data (avoiding our router/network) the error logs in the web ui are the same

[loiccoyle]

Hmm, I did a quick search trough the yfinance issues and found a few that mention this issue, in most cases it seems to be pi hole related.

[CasaOSuser01]

hmmm, ill flash a fresh image tomorrow but if that was the case i wonder why it didnt kick in when i switched to a mobile tether

it also seems to be a different error, the one above is connection refused not unreachable

Hi @loiccoyle. Both of my TinyTicker's stopped updating stock data in the past few days. Here is the log file from one of them. Any thoughts on what might be causing this or what I am doing wrong? Both of them had been working fine for months and then both stopped updating in the past few days. I had/have not made an configuration changes. Maybe a change with the yfinance API? Thanks, Matt

i tried a reflash and mobile tether and the result is the same

Glad im not the only one having issues, chatgpt suggests theres something wrong with the api key that the software is trying to use to communicate with yahoo finance

I noticed this too, will investigate I have some ideas. It is however unrelated to this issue, could you open a separate issue?

EDIT: I opened one myself, #70

[loiccoyle]

i tried a reflash and mobile tether and the result is the same

For a sanity check could you try disabling the pi hole and using the normal router, no mobile tether?

keep in mind that it may still not work, because of #70 so check for start date cannot be after end date in the logs.

edit: #70 is fixed in 1.1.5
