'Timestamp' object

chasefrench opened this issue · 5 comments

Hi,

Firstly, thank you to anyone that can help me solve this issue.

I am using Anaconda2.7 with Spyder. I have installed pandas and fredapi through the Anaconda Promp using 'Conda install pandsas' and 'Conda install fredapi' You can see this at the bottom of the attachment.

I can confirm that some things work because the "get_series_info('GDP')" does return the correct information.

However, when using the command "get_series('GDP')" I continually get the following error:

File "G:/Financial Modelling/Python Scripts/LIBOR3M.py", line 11, in
s = fred.get_series('SP500')

File "C:\Users\Chase.French\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fredapi\fred.py", line 129, in get_series
data[self._parse(child.get('date'))] = val

File "C:\Users\Chase.French\AppData\Local\Continuum\anaconda2\lib\site-packages\fredapi\fred.py", line 64, in _parse
return pd.to_datetime(date_str, format=format).to_datetime()

AttributeError: 'Timestamp' object has no attribute 'to_datetime'

I would really appreciate any help that can be provided!

conda installation

Hopefully, this information should also help:

The code I am runnning is, (I have removed my API Key

from fredapi import Fred
import pandas as pd
fred = Fred(api_key='6f328bfd8c0347f8cdc2104689085ef8')
s = fred.get_series('SP500')
s.tail()

Again, any assistance is really appreciated.

what version of the fredapi are you using? if you use the latest this error shouldn't happen

Thank you for responding. I fixed the problem by uninstalling anaconda and all python versions from my computer. Then do a clean install of 3.7.2 then using pip to install fredapi.

Have had no problems since.

glad to hear!
