[nathphoenix]

Please this function is failing get_stock_profile_data and others when i run them.

This is the error below

HTTPSConnectionPool(host='query2.finance.yahoo.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /v6/finance/quoteSummary/googl?modules=assetProfile&formatted=False&lang=en-US&region=US&corsDomain=finance.yahoo.com (Caused by ProxyError('Cannot connect to proxy.', NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x000002A2BE011000>: Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed')))

Are you running an ad-blocker?

I am running pi-hole and had a similar issue, which I fixed by adding the yahoo finance domain names to my ad-blocker whitelist.

For me getting stock profile data also does not work any longer. This simple program:

from yahoofinancials import YahooFinancials
fins = YahooFinancials('AAPL', concurrent=False, max_workers=8, country="US")
companydata = fins.get_stock_profile_data()

results in this traceback:

@GerdSidan Could you try that on v1.18?

[JECSand]

Just released v1.19 which includes a fix for this issue.
