I am trying to work with yfinance library (This is my first time attempting to work with it).
I attempted the following and it worked
pip install yfinance --upgrade --no-cache-dir
I attempted the following in jupyter notebook and it worked
import yfinance as yf
sp500=yf.Ticker("^GSPC")
print ("got sp500")
I am able to see the following line printed in the jupyter notebook
got sp500
When I attempt the following with or without the proxy, it errors out
sp500.proxy="http://my-proxy.org.com:xxx"
sp500.info
I see the following error
ConnectTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='fc.yahoo.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: / (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x0000028F3FA23590>, 'Connection to fc.yahoo.com timed out. (connect timeout=30)'))
I am behind a proxy and I believe that this has something to do with it. Need a fix for this.
