| Oct 7, 2018 at 2:17 | comment | added | Daniel Goldfarb | I figured out the problem, thanks to your proof that the issue is definitely not Python. The api I am calling is get_daily() from alpha_vantage (github.com/RomelTorres/alpha_vantage) which is a Python wrapper around the alphavantage.co web API. The problem is the free version of the web API is limited to 5 requests per minute; and the Python wrapper defaults to 5 retries on a failure, so when sent an invalid key it burned up my 5 requests per minute. When I set retries=0 everything worked fine. Thanks for your help! | |
