Users may encounter errors during data fetching, specifically when the application attempts to retrieve historical stock data using the yfinance library. This can manifest as an error message within the app similar to:
Data Error - Could not retrieve data for '[SYMBOL]'. Check symbol/dates.
Looking at the application's debug logs (if available), the underlying cause is often a yfinance.exceptions.YFRateLimitError.
[...]
[ERROR ] [
1 Failed download]
[ERROR ] [['[SYMBOL]'] ] YFRateLimitError('Too Many Requests. Rate limited. Try after a while.')
[...]
[WARNING] [YFinance ] Empty data for [SYMBOL].
[WARNING] [Final ] No data for [SYMBOL].
[ERROR ] [Analysis Error] Data Error - Could not retrieve ANY data for '[SYMBOL]' in the required range (...). Check symbol/dates.
This application relies on the yfinance library, which scrapes data from public Yahoo Finance APIs. Yahoo Finance implements rate limits to prevent excessive load on their servers. These limits restrict the number of requests allowed from a single IP address within a certain time period.
Shared IPs: Users on shared networks (like university campuses, corporate networks, or using certain ISP technologies like Carrier-Grade NAT) are more likely to encounter this issue, as the total number of requests from many users sharing the same IP can exceed Yahoo's limits.
Frequent Use: Running analyses repeatedly in a short time can also trigger the limit for an individual user.
This rate limiting is imposed by Yahoo Finance itself and is outside the direct control of this application or the yfinance library.
Potential Workarounds for Users:
Wait: The most common solution is to wait for a period (e.g., 30 minutes, an hour, or potentially longer depending on the limit duration and shared IP usage) and try the analysis again.
Reduce Frequency: Avoid running analyses back-to-back very quickly.
Try a Different Network: If possible, try running the application from a different internet connection (e.g., home vs. work, mobile hotspot) which will have a different IP address.
