Screeners not pulling any data

[Sanketh-Nagarajan]

Hi,

I am trying to import technical data from finviz using the following piece of code:

from finvizfinance.screener.technical import Technical

finviz_scan_technical = Technical()
technical_df = finviz_scan_technical.screener_view()

But the output says 'No Tickers found.'. As you can see, I have not set any filters but still the function is not retrieving any data.
Did some setting change on finviz's side to cause this failure?

Btw, I am using version "0.11.0"

Thanks

I think it is due to change on finviz side. The package fail to fetch page information. All the screeners have the same issue. I will fix this ASAP.

[Tianning Li]

The package is updated. Please check the new version. Thanks for reporting.

I upgraded the package and I am getting the following error for the same piece of code:

line 283, in screener_view
table = soup.findAll("table")[18]
IndexError: list index out of range

[Tianning Li]

My mistake. I change in one place but forget to change this one. Sorry.

[Tianning Li]

Please directly pull from the repo to see if it is working. If not I will push a new version to PyPi. Thanks.

I tried pulling directly from the repo. still getting the same error while loading page.

[Tianning Li]

Can you share the python script and the error? Since I didn't get this error.

I think your package is not updated. So the previous error is the number 18. But the current master branch is changed to 19.

[Sanketh-Nagarajan]

It works! Could you please push the new version to PyPi .. Thanks!

[Tianning Li]

Sure, thanks for helping.

[Tianning Li]

The package is published on PyPi.
