How do I use the yahoo finance API to get the day's DJIA open each day? when I use
import yahoo_finance
dji = Share('dji')
DJIA = dji.get_open()
print(DJIA)
it gives error <urlopen error [Errno 11001] getaddrinfo failed> on the second line

Why are you expecting 'yahoo' to be in the namespace when you've imported yahoo_finance? – Paula Thomas Apr 07 '20 at 17:18

If you are using the yfinance package, then you can get the last day's open this way.
import yfinance as yf
data = yf.download(tickers = "dji", interval = "1d", period = "1d")
print(data["Open"][0])

1) why did I get `[*********************100%***********************] 1 of 1 completed` before the number? 2) it gave a different number than just checking up today's DJI open in the [Yahoo! Finance website](https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%5EDJI/) – Tuor Apr 12 '20 at 14:51
