investiny: Request to Investing.com API failed with error code: 403

here is my code:

from investiny import historical_data 

data = historical_data(investing_id=19256, from_date="01/01/2019", to_date="12/31/2019") #adese 19256 data-content-id üzerinden bulunuyor

here’s out:

Hi guys! So Investing.com has some severe limitations and strict Cloudflare protection so it’s probably that, I tried to contact them in the past in order to find a solution for this, but they didn’t reply, so it seems that they are not interested at all in having an open source project to pull data from their site and/or API. I’ll probably try to contact them again, but they are reluctant to do anything, so probably it will never work as smooth as before 😭

If I may shamelessly plug my project tessa – it’s an abstraction layer on top of data sources. It used to use investpy and coingecko. Now it uses yfinance and coingecko. It offers a streamlined interface and a number of features such as a Symbol class including collections to store and load a list of symbols. Might be useful for some people.

Same issue here, tried from a remote server (different IP) in case of blacklist, and my own machine, both got 403.

Amazing! Good job!

For Selenium, may be the problem is on the driver. User-Agent in http header is also an factor Cloudflare checks.

@alvarobartt Can you contact me as I can share with you how to make it work 😃

So without patch I get 403 👎 but with some extra setup added I get proper responses as needed.
