I'm getting this issue too with the following code:

class YahooFinance:
    """
    A class for accessing financial data using YahooQuery.

    Attributes:
        symbol (str): The ticker symbol for the company (default: 'MSFT').

    """

    def __init__(self, symbol: str = 'MSFT') -> None:
        """

        self.symbol = symbol
        self.ticker = Ticker(self.symbol)

        """

            A list of dictionaries containing the news article information.
        """
        news_data = self.ticker.news(count=count, start=start_date)

        for article in news_data:
            print(article)
            article['provider_publish_time'] = datetime.fromtimestamp(article['provider_publish_time']).strftime('%Y-%m-%d')

        return news_data

if __name__ == '__main__':
    msft = YahooFinance(symbol='MSFT')
    financial_news = msft.get_news(count=5, start_date='2023-01-01')

    print(financial_news)

Just prints ['error'] to the terminal. Any ideas?

This was raised a few months ago in #44 also. I’m pretty certain that YF has deprecated this API and I’ll plan on removing this method in a later version. I’ll keep this issue open for anyone else that runs into this and it will close it out once the method is removed.

Any suggestions for alternative news source APIs?

@noobmldude @jsgaston @dpguthrie Wondering if it would be worth it to just use their RSS feed, it seems decent: https://feeds.finance.yahoo.com/rss/2.0/headline?s=AAPL&region=US&lang=en-US
