Yahoo Options has been immediately deprecated due to large breaks in the API

[phyllotaxis1]

def get_surf(ticker):

q = Options(ticker, 'yahoo').get_all_data()

Does anyone know why I get the error message, "pandas_datareader.exceptions.ImmediateDeprecationError: Yahoo Options has been immediately deprecated due to large breaks in the API without the introduction of a stable replacement. Pull Requests to re-enable these data connectors are welcome." with this chunk of code?

Are you using 0.7.0?

[phyllotaxis1]

yeah

[phyllotaxis1]

it's the options information that didn't work... i was able to get the stock data

Me too. How to deal with it? ----> 1 aapl = Options('aapl')

/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/pandas_datareader/data.py in Options(symbol, data_source, session) 413 data_source = "yahoo" 414 if data_source == "yahoo": --> 415 raise ImmediateDeprecationError(DEP_ERROR_MSG.format('Yahoo Options')) 416 return YahooOptions(symbol, session=session) 417 elif data_source == "google":

Any update in this? Still cannot retrieve the options data

Yahoo Options has been immediately deprecated due to large breaks in the API without the introduction of a stable replacement. Pull Requests to re-enable these data connectors are welcome.

from pandas_datareader.data import Options
fb_options = Options('TSLA', 'yahoo')
options_df = fb_options.get_options_data(expiry=fb_options.expiry_dates[0])
print(options_df.tail())

I ran into the same problem.

any update on this issue? It has not yet been fixed

@raysalem PRs that work around the large change in yahoo's undocumented api are welcome. There was no point in shipping a completely broken connector.

this seems to be working as of today (Apr-09-2020).

there is still a deprecation warning for some reason that prevents it from being used through the main Options class

raise ImmediateDeprecationError(DEP_ERROR_MSG.format("Yahoo Options"))

Were you able to get the options data? I'm facing the same issue. Able to get stock data but not options data.

It is still working for me, I had to work around the wrapper of the Yahoo call. Here is the code that is still working, I hope this helps!

from pandas_datareader.yahoo.options import Options as YahooOptions
underlying_symbol = 'SPY'
options_obj = YahooOptions(underlying_symbol)
options_frame_live = options_obj.get_all_data()

Also my pandas_datareader version is 0.8.1

import pandas_datareader
print(pandas_datareader.__version__)
0.8.1

Good luck trading! :)
