Provide simple code that reproduces your problem

I have been having this same issue since Friday, none of the patches seem to help. I think it relates to pandas data reader.

My programs start with the following:

import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import yfinance as yf
import datetime as dt
import pandas_datareader.data as web
from pandas_datareader import data as pdr

start = dt.datetime(2016, 1, 1)
end = dt.datetime.today()
df = web.DataReader('AAPL','yahoo', start, end)
stock= "AAPL"
fig = plt.figure('AAPL')
start = dt.datetime(2016, 1, 1)
end = dt.date.today()
dividends = web.DataReader('AAPL', 'yahoo-dividends', start, end)
dividends.head()

The bug is occurring where pandas_datareader tries to read 'root.App.main', which Yahoo encrypted recently. Problem is that package nothing to do with yfinance, doesn't appear in the Traceback. Their issue

[JoaoGoncalvesCS]

I appear to have the same issue, is there anyway we can overcome this issue? Any ideas ? Could we change the source maybe ?

[ValueRaider]

You got two options:

1. Go to their GitHub project and ask them to fix. Nothing to do with this project
2. Switch to yfinance

There is a comment in the linked thread about overide

pydata/pandas-datareader#952

Yf.pdr_overide()

it fixed my programs. (Using updated yfinance ect)

Goodluck
