tv.get_hist() stopped working?

[pfpietro]

Hi all,

I'm unable to download any data from TradingView using the method get.hist().
I get the error
ERROR:tvDatafeed.main:Connection timed out ERROR:tvDatafeed.main:no data, please check the exchange and symbol

Are you guys facing the same problem? I've tried other symbols and exchanges but it seems a problem with tradingView

I think it has to do with no-login access. I had the same problem with CRUDEOIL, but after providing login data, it worked.

It's working fine for me with no login. However the search function hasn't worked for a while.

To search what you need to do is go on the Tradingview website and open up a chart, then search for the symbol you want to download, then press the down arrow to highlight it. It will then write the exchange info in the search bar for you. E.g. search for SPY, down arrow, it now says AMEX:SPY. AMEX is the exchange. Make sure to put the correct exchange in and it now works.

Solved! Thanks ddouglas87 I tried to call the function this way: df = tv.get_hist(symbol='BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P',exchange='BINANCE',interval=Interval.in_1_hour,n_bars=50,fut_contract=1)

and worked well. I.e. placing both the exchange and the symbol separated by a colon as Tradingview displays it 'BINANCE:BTCUSDT.P'

If I call it this other way: df = tv.get_hist(symbol='BTCUSDT.P',exchange='BINANCE',interval=Interval.in_1_hour,n_bars=50,fut_contract=1)

I get this error: ERROR:tvDatafeed.main:The read operation timed out
ERROR:tvDatafeed.main:no data, please check the exchange and symbol

It is a bit strange but sending the request the first way solved my problem.

Do you guys know where should i enter my credentials? I have deleted whatever was inside the main.py file and exchanged it as the tutorial says for the username and password and filled those in.

Then i execute the script, get a weird syntax error. It also says im not logged in. Then get some Nifty values for the day? (Even though i deleted whatever was inside main.py ???). I am also logged in TV. The credentials are also correct.

Can someone help me??

Below i paste some of the output:
