python - How can get ' USDJPY'(currency rates) with pandas and yahoo finance? -


i learning , using pandas , python.

today, trying make fx rate table, got trouble getting pricess of 'usdjpy'.

when prices of 'eur/usd', code this.

eur = web.datareader('eurusd=x','yahoo')['adj close']

it works.

but when wrote 

jpy = web.datareader('usdjpy=x','yahoo')['adj close']

the error message comes this:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ioerror traceback (most recent call last) in () ----> 1 jpy = web.datareader('usdjpy=x','yahoo')['adj close']

c:\anaconda\lib\site-packages\pandas\io\data.pyc in datareader(name, data_source, start, end, retry_count, pause) 70 return get_data_yahoo(symbols=name, start=start, end=end, 71 adjust_price=false, chunksize=25, ---> 72 retry_count=retry_count, pause=pause) 73 elif data_source == "google": 74 return get_data_google(symbols=name, start=start, end=end,

ioerror: after 3 tries, yahoo! did not return 200 url 'http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=usdjpy=x&a=0&b=1&c=2010&d=1&e=1&f=2014&g=d&ignore=.csv'

other currencies 'gbpusd' have same problem.

can solve problem?

do have idea of getting 'usdjpy' yahoo or google???

yahoo finance doesn't provide historical data on exchange rates (i.e. there's no "historical prices" link in top left of page there stocks, indices, etc...)

you can use fred (federal reserve of st. louis data) these exchange rates...

import pandas.io.data web  jpy = web.datareader('dexjpus', 'fred')

or more direct way...

jpy = web.get_data_fred('dexjpus')

a list of of exchange rate fred has daily data can found here: http://research.stlouisfed.org/fred2/categories/94

identifier - Is it possible for an html5 document to have two ids? -

i wondering if html5 element can have 2 ids, this: <button id="thing1" id="thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> or this: <button id="thing1, thing2" name="button1" onclick="change()">click here</button> also, if 1 of ids said 1 thing, , other id said thing, 1 used? tl;dr : no. in versions of html, each element can have 1 id. see the spec : the id attribute specifies element's unique identifier (id). [dom] the value must unique amongst ids in element's home subtree , must contain @ least 1 character. the value must not contain space characters. note: there no other restrictions on form id can take; in particular, ids can consist of digits, start digit, start underscore, consist of punctuation , etc. note: element's unique identifier can used variety of purposes, notably way link specific parts of document usin
