Pandas Options Broken Again?

Question

Running this canonical example:

from pandas.io.data import  Options

aapl = Options('aapl', 'yahoo')
data = aapl.get_all_data()

gives

RemoteDataError: Data not available

I know this used to be an issue in v0.14 or so, but it was supposedly fixed with v0.15. I'm on 0.18.1

Answer 1

It's Yahoo - they've changed their options site, so old parsers aren't working properly

Suggestion: first of all consider using pandas_datareader instead of deprecated pandas.io.data and monitor this issue so you'll know when this issue is fixed
