Error while getting data from quandl

Question

Hi, I was just using the code that you entered in the lecture for getting data from FRED/GDP using the quandl/get('FRED/GDP'). But I got this error.

(Status 429) (Quandl Error QELx01) You have exceeded the anonymous user limit of 50 calls per day. To make more calls today, please register for a free Quandl account and then include your API key with your requests.

Can you please help. How do I fix this error.

Answer 1

Hi Srajan! Thanks for reaching out. Quandl is an online financial data source that currently imposes limits on its free use. You don't really need to use such data to complete our course, however it might be beneficial for you to know how to use it. With that in mind, in case you'd like to proceed your work with Quandl, please remember that this error is to say that you have a limit on the number of times you can extract data from Quandl. You need to refer to their website to see how you can deal with these limits at present. Hope this helps.
Best,
Martin

Answer 2

Hello,
Unable to access quandl data.
I get a different error.

ConnectionError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='www.quandl.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /api/v3/datasets/FRED/GDP/data?order=asc (Caused by NewConnectionError('<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x0000014DF3768D00>: Failed to establish a new connection: [WinError 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond'))

Has anybody successfully downloaded quandl data. I had used quandl API wihtout any issue couple of years ago. I am not able to get past the error this time. Appreciate any pointers.
Thanks.

Hi Rajya!

Thanks for reaching out.

Do you think it may be the case that a technical maintenance may have been ongoing on the Quandl site, so you were only temporarily hindered from using their data? Does the error still persist?

Hope this helps.
