Hi!
I am using ystockquote with the following code:
def get_historical_prices(symbol, start_date, end_date):
"""
Get historical prices for the given ticker symbol.
Date format is 'YYYYMMDD'
Returns a nested list.
"""
url = 'http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=%s&;' % symbol + \
'd=%s&' % str(int(end_date[4:6]) - 1) + \
'e=%s&' % str(int(end_date[6:8])) + \
'f=%s&' % str(int(end_date[0:4])) + \
'g=d&' + \
'a=%s&' % str(int(start_date[4:6]) - 1) + \
'b=%s&' % str(int(start_date[6:8])) + \
'c=%s&' % str(int(start_date[0:4])) + \
'ignore=.csv'
days = urllib.urlopen(url).readlines()
data = [day[:-2].split(',') for day in days]
return data
This code prints the data, but only 2 decimals. I need to print out 4 decimals.
As far as I know, prices are only defined to the nearest penny* (2
decimals) so I don't know what more you expect.
*Not too long ago, prices were in 1/8ths of a dollar. Market makers
complained about decimalization because it would squeeze the spread that
they profited from -- which it did.
print ystockquote.get_historical_prices('EURUSD=X','20120101','20120301')
Some suggestions?
