Hey Matt! thanks for the awesome video. It really helped me get started. For non-US markets, Alpha Vantage sometimes uses name and not the ticker symbol used in that country. Do you know if I can find out the list of countries/exchanges covered in the API? Is there an identifier for a country or exchange? I will appreciate your help. Please keep coming these great videos. Thanks!

Hey Matt, one more question. Do you have any opinion about 12 Data? Are you planning to make any videos about it in the future? Thanks,

[cosmicbandido]

Thanks Matt! Very new to python and pandas. Could you show maybe little code snippets e.g. like in an backtest or so, where you have the pandas filtered values used inside a code?

nice work Matt, Does this api gives price data for current day? I am trying to get intraday current day price, but it only gives the price information for previous day

[Dr.Sortospino]

silly question, but if i want to plot these data with no space between the time? how would you do it?
like if I have RSI to plot, it will be weird, not on a nice continuous line

Thank you so much for very helpful lecture.
I have one question if I may,
In the case of this lesson, what is the right way if I try to make a chart for “ 20EMA “. Is it normal timing to use 20 days or 20 minutes?
Thanks again.

HEY! does this API give the history of the stocks too?

[mishkaahmoola]

hi, i need help with this please :

Obtain the price data for the two stocks from 1-Jan-2019 to 31-Dec-2019. The function
is to be named as get_stock_prices.

[amins]

Is it possible to get the whole data set and not just a short period of time?

[SantoshLLC]

How to do that for crypto? I tried to check the documentation but it doesn't work...

In the future, please stop scrolling up and down so much when you're explaining something. It makes it extremely hard to follow when I'm trying to read a command line and it suddenly disappears as you jump forwards or backwards to make some point that you just thought of. You've provided a lot of great content but it should flow, not jump.
