Python, yahoo yql quote error
I used the yql console and got the appropriate answer. However, when submitting a python based request, I keep getting the error. First a console example:
select * from yahoo.finance.quotes where symbol in ("yahoo", "aapl")
I am getting a result block with the expected fields. Python example:
import requests
base_url = 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?'
query = 'q=select * from yahoo.finance.quotes where symbol in ("YHOO", "AAPL")'
full_query=base_url + query
result = requests.get(full_query)
print(result.content)
With the following answer:
b '\ nNo definition found for yahoo.finance.quotes table'
What am I missing? TIA, Clayton

What you are missing is part of the request:
import json
import urllib
from pprint import pprint
base_url = 'https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?'
query = {
'q': 'select * from yahoo.finance.quote where symbol in ("YHOO","AAPL")',
'format': 'json',
'env': 'store://datatables.org/alltableswithkeys'
}
url = base_url + urllib.urlencode(query)
response = urllib.urlopen(url)
data = response.read()
quote = json.loads(data)
pprint(quote)
Output:
