As of today 2023-10-13, I tried to run:

import finviz

print(finviz.get_stock('aapl'))

Error received:

File: "...\finviz\main_func.py", line 35, in get_stock
title = page_parsed.cssselect('table[class="fullview-title"]')[0]
IndexError: list index out of range

Additional Info:

• OS: Windows 10
• Python IDE: Tried both VSCode and Thonny
• Python Version: 3.9.1

You can uninstall your local finviz dependency and install it from the fork

pip install -U git+https://github.com/thirumalairajr/finviz

Once the PR is merged, you can switch back to the main repo.

Ahh, thank you very much, that worked! : ) That is what I needed.

@thirumalairajr unfortunately a new related error popped up.

stock_data = get_stock(ticker)
             ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

File "/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/finviz/main_func.py", line 37, in get_stock
data["Ticker"] = title.cssselect('h1[class="quote-header_ticker-wrapper_ticker"]')[0].text_content().strip()
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^
IndexError: list index out of range

Any idea what is the issue this time ?

[ahloytan]

@thirumalairajr hi, seems like finviz made another small update or something.

Line 37
Before: data["Ticker"] = title.cssselect('h1[class="quote-header_ticker-wrapper_ticker"]')[0].text_content().strip()
After: data["Ticker"] = title.cssselect('h1[class="js-recent-quote-ticker quote-header_ticker-wrapper_ticker"]')[0].text_content().strip()

I have made the following change and it seems to work for me!

@sw8989 Not sure if you're able to edit the "main_func.py" as such, else I think we can wait for @thirumalairajr to make the change. Let me know if it helps/works

[MahanyaKochhar]

thanks @ahloytan fixed the issue based on your solution !
In the meantime, feel free to install from this fork https://github.com/MahanyaKochhar/finviz
Steps ->
Just uninstall your local finviz dependency and install it from the fork

pip install -U git+https://github.com/MahanyaKochhar/finviz

[AdamMuzz]

still experiencing this issue. @MahanyaKochhar Im not sure entirely why but using your fork messed up some numpy math in another area of my project. Specifically when I have your fork installed, a matrix multiplication results in all NaNs instead of the expected values.

I am getting error on example code, too.
