Python: Real Time Stock Price Scraping and Plotting with Beautiful Soup and Matplotlib Animation

When we perform data science tasks, it’s often that we want to use data found on the internet. However, there are times when the data you want can only be accessed as part of a web page. In cases like this, you’ll want to use a technique called web scraping to get the data from the web page into a format you can work with in your analysis.

Beautifulsoup and matplotlib animation can be used to automate the process in pulling the information that you want from the website and plot the Live Data in Real-Time.

Great tutorial!

To change searches with common Western symbols/stocks (MSFT, AAPL): change "+ stock_code + ('?p=') + stock_code + ('&.tsrc=fin-srch')"

I am watching in April 2023 and it seems like yahoo don't want people to scrape their site. the request end with the two P tags above, and there is no element to scrape when you do r.text.

Nice video - I did similar last year with a Rapsberry Pi and had the prices display on LED matrix !

[shekharkumar]

I am having same problem and it's problem for many of us who tried to apply this tutorial i.e. 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'find'. Please suggest

[shivanshsingh]

why you have used df.T?
Why we need to transpose it?

[anthonychung]

The animation 4 plots at the begining looks very good, but that looks very different from the results plots at the end of this video?

[idkwhatonamethiseriously]

I wanted to get a graph for history of the stock, but I'm stuck at the inspection step. I've got the right block but how do I get the values in it?

[shauryamisra]

it still shows me nonetype has no attribute find

[Levy]

Incredible, keep doing more tutorials

[abdulhaq]

This is really interesting, It would be very helpful if you show how to send this scraped data to email when we reach a price level.
