TypeError on pandas webreader

Question

I am trying to get stock date using the web datareader library and i am receiving an error i have never gotten before even thought i have not changed anything

import datetime as dt
from datetime import datetime, timedelta, date
import pandas_datareader.data as web

start = date(2010,10,1)
end = datetime.now()

df = web.DataReader("AAPL", 'yahoo', start, end)
print(df)

The full error i receive reads as follows

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "d:codenewgennewmain.py", line 60, in <module>
    df = web.DataReader("AAPL", 'yahoo', start, end)

Answer 1

what worked for me was downgrading the webreader package to 0.9.0 and then using yfinance to hijack it as such

from pandas_datareader import data as pdr

import yfinance as yf
yf.pdr_override()

# download dataframe
data = pdr.get_data_yahoo("SPY", start="2017-01-01", end="2017-04-30")
