loading data

[rob101]

i'm trying to download stock data from yahoo! finance....
in anyway - i'm trying to have a symbol to download by loading the symbol/tickers from a file....

i know my code is awful, but i'll be glad to receive help:

import yfinance as yf
import pandas as pd
import plotly.graph_objects as go


def symbol_tracker(symbol):
    with open("/home/tal/investing/Ticker.csv", "r") as file:
        for line in file:
            if line != "\n":
                yf.download(symbol, start='1900-01-01')
            else:
                print("end of data")
                return line

symbol_tracker("/home/tal/investing/Ticker.csv") 

def symbol_saver(df):
    pass

fig = go.Figure(go.Candlestick(x=df.index,
  open=df['Open'],
  high=df['High'],
  low=df['Low'],
  close=df['Close']))
fig.show()

one additional element i need basically is saving the data onto csv files with having the name of files by their tickers...

i'll be glad for assistance with this...

thanks

I've spotted and error in your code...

def symbol_tracker(symbol):
    with open("/home/tal/investing/Ticker.csv", "r") as file:
        for line in file:
            if line != "\n":
                yf.download(symbol, start='1900-01-01')
            else:
                print("end of data")
                return line

# this call is passing the path and file name to your function. Should this not be a symbol name?
symbol_tracker("/home/tal/investing/Ticker.csv")

... which may or may not fix things; untested.

I don't use Pandas, so I'm unsure about the code from this point down.
