Still observe the issue in 0.1.62

    import yfinance as yf
    handle = yf.Ticker("AOS")
    data = handle.history()
    print(data)

I had the same error with @kevinvud’s above. I think it has something to do with the server. Also the newest version of yfinance I could access was 0.1.61 ERROR: No matching distribution found for yfinance==0.1.62

Same error with python 3.8 and 0.1.63 … 😦 simplejson.errors.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
