TypeError: unbound method fetch() must be called with YahooData instance as first argument (got unicode instance instead)' about yahoodata HOT 4 CLOSED

YahooData.fetch("TSLA", start="2000-01-01", end="2021-12-31")

I tried in python 2.7 and return 'TypeError: unbound method fetch() must be called with YahooData instance as first argument (got unicode instance instead)'

Do you know what changes needed for Python 2.7? I am in an old image in a cloud system and is hard for me to upgrade to python 3. Thanks

Hi, you can try with this code:

import io
import pandas
from datetime import datetime
import requests

class YahooData:
  def fetch(self, ticker, start, end):
    headers = {
        'User-Agent': 'Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_2) AppleWebKit/601.3.9 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/9.0.2 Safari/601.3.9'
    }

    url = "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/" + str(ticker)
    x = int(datetime.strptime(start, '%Y-%m-%d').strftime("%s"))
    y = int(datetime.strptime(end, '%Y-%m-%d').strftime("%s"))
    url += "?period1=" + str(x) + "&period2=" + str(y) + "&interval=1d&events=history&includeAdjustedClose=true"
    
    r = requests.get(url, headers=headers)
    pd = pandas.read_csv(io.StringIO(r.text), index_col=0, parse_dates=True)

    return pd

df = YahooData()
dfs = df.fetch("TSLA", start="2000-01-01", end="2021-12-31")
print(dfs)

Hopefully it can be useful, thanks :)

Thanks @ericsnth . This error exists ```

make sure you have imported the datetime module in the following way:

from datetime import datetime

If I had to guess, you did this:

import datetime

if you import the datetime module only with 'import datetime', you can change the code with:

x = int(datetime.datetime.strptime(date, "%Y-%m-%d").strftime("%s"))

from yahoodata.

It works now. Thanks @ericsnth
