. There are many times when traders are faced with certain questions that block their progress. Questions such as -
Where can I get the market data (historical/real-time) and other data from?
How to download stock data in Python?


This session focuses on sharing details of all the authentic and Real-time data providers, and how to use them in Python.


When you come to algorithmic trading the first hurdle you might face is “how do I get stock data?”. First of all your broker can provide you with data through API. So either you can get data from your broker or you can get data from an external data vendor. They generally provide the data through APIs and you can access that API through Python. You can also import CSV into Python or use the libraries like Yahoo Finance.


Method #1 - Import data from CSV to Python
Method #2 - Getting data from Yahoo Finance
The examples are mentioned in the video and explain how you can get data if the data is already saved in the form of csv.
OR you can get the same data through yahoo finance by importing the yahoo finance library.
