Common errors

error AttributeError: module 'yahooquery' has no attribute 'Ticker' ↓

fix

Use from yahooquery import Ticker

error TypeError: 'NoneType' object is not subscriptable ↓

cause The API returned no data for the given symbol (e.g., delisted or invalid ticker).

cause Yahoo Finance API endpoint changed or ticker not found.

fix

Update yahooquery to latest version. If persists, the ticker may be delisted.

fix Replace .get_historical(period='1y') with .history(period='1y')

gotcha Yahoo Finance API endpoints change frequently. Some methods may break without notice. ↓

fix Always check for updates and test your scripts regularly.

gotcha Rate limiting is not documented. Making too many requests in a short time may result in temporary IP blocks. ↓
