Error with web.DataReader - rakhmadiev - Jun-22-2017
Hi, I've found out that for some reason web.DataReader is not working for some of the tickers and I cannot understand why...
For example, when I try to retrieve historical stock prices of Noble Energy (its symbol is 'NBL') web.DataReader fails. However I am able to see all the requered data in Google Finance website (https://www.google.com/finance/historical?cid=25683&startdate=Jun+20%2C+2017&enddate=Jun+20%2C+2017&num=30&ei=EuNLWfGzKNWPULejj8gP)
I cannot understand what can cause this problem. Will appreciate your help
import datetime
import pandas_datareader.data as web
start = datetime.datetime(2017, 6, 20)
end = datetime.datetime(2017, 6, 20)
df3 = web.DataReader('NBL', "google", start, end)

This is a valid error.
It is always necessary to post the traceback with any error
your request produces:
