[FIXED] Scraping stock price data

Issue

I'm trying to get the prices from this URL. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

https://stockcharts.com/h-hd/?%24GSPCE

        resp = requests.get(BASE_URL).content
        soup = BeautifulSoup(resp, 'html.parser')
        prices = soup.find('div', {'class': 'historical-data-descrip'})
        
        content = str(prices)
        print(content)

Solution

Stockcharts only provides historical data to StockChart members, so you probably need to pass some kind of authentication.

Or use an api like this one
