I have the same problems "TypeError: string indices must be integers"

[Luke7389]

same issue with getting last value, however the website appears up and running, @chingybrooks what do you mean with your comment?

I thought the reason is that the API is not available

[lrauhockey]

I think the data is coming back encoded and or encrypted. Beyond my capabilities to fix, but looks that way.

[sedwards2000]

I have created a pull request with the fix hopefully it will be accepted too. I found the fix on a separate package: ranaroussi/yfinance@8e5f098

[promexio]

Yes, same issue on my side.

[RobinMoRi]

I also get the same issue using yahoo_financials.get_current_price() method. Any update on this issue?

check the answer from sedwards2000 updating the file worked for me. But make sure you also have crypto module installed
pip3 install pycryptodome

Hey, I am new to GitHub and I faced the same issue and now here is the fix but I don't know what to do with the code given, like should I execute it or what am I suppose to do

Hi!

You have to change the source code yourself applying the changes highlighted in the pull request. 62119be

You have to modify yahoofinancials module’s __init__.py file; there are two ways to find it:

• use your IDE "Find in Files / Scope" (or smth like that) function searching for the original code, for example "track the last get timestamp to add a minimum delay between gets - be nice!"
• or go to the virtual environment folder and follow the path like: lib > site-packages > yahoofinancials > __init__.py

Apply the changes and that's it! Just make sure you have "pycryptodome" module installed

One easy way to install working yahoo financials library is to install library from merge request 62119be, until @JECSand Accept this merge request to master repository fixed encryption of incoming stock data #106.

Thanks @sedwards2000

Code:

!pip install -U git+https://github.com/sedwards2000/yahoofinancials@encryptionDataFix
!pip install pycryptodome
from yahoofinancials import YahooFinancials 
yahoo_financials = YahooFinancials('AAPL') 
print("Apple current price in $",yahoo_financials.get_current_price())
