Description

I am getting error message Dataset "us-income-ttm" not on disk. when attempting to download data into colab notebook. I also get this error message when running tutorials that have the same code as mine. This did not happen with the previous version. I was able to down signal dataset prior to Feb 22, 2023 update. I have the latest version 0.9.0.

System Details

• Python version
• Simfin version : 0.9.0
• Other relevant package versions
• Operation System and version
• Computer's CPU, RAM-size, free HD space, etc.
• Other relevant system information

Code Example

Import the main functionality from the SimFin Python API.

import simfin as sf

Import names used for easy access to SimFin's data-columns.

from simfin.names import *

import seaborn as sns

# Configure simfin.
sf.set_data_dir('~/simfin_data/')
sf.load_api_key(path='~/simfin_api_key.txt', default_key='free')

# Interested in the US stock-market.
market = 'us'

offset = pd.DateOffset(days=60)

Refresh the fundamental datasets (Income Statements etc.)

every 30 days.

refresh_days = 30

# Refresh the dataset with shareprices every 10 days.
 refresh_days_shareprices = 10

%%time
hub = sf.StockHub(market=market, tickers=tickers, offset=offset,
              refresh_days=refresh_days,
              refresh_days_shareprices=refresh_days_shareprices)

#try to download data using StockHub Object

 %%time
 df_fin_signals = hub.fin_signals(variant='daily')

also tried same code from SimFin tutorial https://github.com/SimFin/simfin-tutorials/blob/master/05_Data_Hubs.ipynb but get #similar error message

If you are getting a 401 error it means that there is something wrong with your API-key.

For me the code is running fine.

Can you try instead of sf.load_api_key the following (probably the file with the api-key is not found):
sf.set_api_key(api_key='YOUR_KEY')

Hi Thomas, Thank you, I did use my own API key but I still get the error. I will check the SimFin support page. Thanks, Eliana Velazquez
