Previously data was easily downloaded, but now it is showing the following error. How to resolve this?

Failed to get ticker ‘NSEI’ reason: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

1 Failed download:
[‘NSEI’]: YFTzMissingError(‘$%ticker%: possibly delisted; no timezone found’)

Hi Amish,
You can try using ^NSEI to download NIFTY 50 Index prices:

#!pip install --upgrade yfinance # uncomment to upgrade yfinance
import yfinance as yf
nsei = yf.download("^NSEI", period="1y")

Let us know if you run into any issues. If you do, please share the yfinance library version. You can check it using the following code:

print("yfinance version:", yf.__version__)

Older versions of yfinance reported errors last week: Issue #2329. Many users were able to resolve the issue by upgrading to the latest version.

Still it is showing the same error. I upgraded yfinance also.

yfinance version: 0.2.50

Hi Amish,

The latest version of yfinance is 0.2.54.

Please run the following command to upgrade:
pip install yfinance==0.2.54

You can also find more information here: yfinance · PyPI

If you are using a Jupyter Notebook, please restart the kernel after installation.

Could you please upgrade to the latest version and then re-check?
