i want to download FTSE historical data but i cant download it, i have reinstalled pandas_datareader but the problem still persisted
there are no issues downloading other tickers such as S&P, Dow Jones ,etc only FTSE
this is the following code i used:
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from pandas_datareader import data as wb
FTSE = wb.DataReader('^FTSE', data_source='yahoo', start='1990-1-1')
i get the following error message when i perform the above code and same error occurs in Anaconda3
