I was looking to try out Alpha Vantage's API in Python, but I'd like to install it using Anaconda rather than pip. I'm fairly new to conda however.

I searched for alpha_vantage in conda

conda search alpha_vantage

and it says alpha_vantage is not available on my channels. Is there a way to find a channel that has it? I sort of thought that is what the search would be for.

    How about building it yourself? `conda skeleton pypi alpha_vantage`, then `conda build alpha_vantage`. You can then upload it to your own channel at anaconda.org and install via `conda install alpha_vantage -c mychannel`. – hoefling Jan 11 '18 at 23:56

  • Thanks, I was hoping I could do the same with my latest issue https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49615395/conda-install-of-pykalman-package-reverting-python-to-version-3-5 but the skeleton install fails on some weird permission error. – rhaskett Apr 02 '18 at 17:31

I just built the alpha_vantage 2.0 and uploaded to anaconda.org. Its build for python 3.6 on macOS. You may download it using my channel:

conda install alpha_vantage -c hoishing
