Calling specific dates and values in stock prices


How do i call data for the dates and values for any shares?

Example: I want to call the stock price and date for apple shares only for dec 2016, dec 2017.

Here is what I've tried:

import pandas as pd

pd.core.common.is_list_like = pd.api.types.is_list_like

import pandas_datareader.data as web

import numpy as np

from matplotlib import style

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import datetime as dt

start = dt.datetime(2013,10,1)

end= dt.datetime(2018,4,30)

AAPL_data=[]

AAPL= web.DataReader('AAPL','iex', start, end)
AAPL_data.append(AAPL)

Solution

  • AAPL.loc['2016-12-01':'2016-12-31']
    
    AAPL.loc['2017-12-01':'2017-12-31']
    

    both work for me, for December '16/'17 data respectively. Pandas datetime indexing is very flexible and intuitive, see more examples here.

    Incidentally, if you're using the new release of pandas-datareader (0.7.0), you no longer need to insert pd.core.common.is_list_like = pd.api.types.is_list_like.
