I get "We could not fetch the requested data. This may not be valid data, or a failed download of custom data. Skipping source (/QuantConnect.Live/data/alternative/cboe/vix.csv)."
this is my code
from QuantConnect.Data.Custom.CBOE import *
class QuantumDynamicAutosequencers(QCAlgorithm):
def Initialize(self):
#intilizing code
self.cboeVix = self.AddData(CBOE, "VIX").Symbol
def OnData(self, data):
'''OnData event is the primary entry point for your algorithm. Each new data point will be pumped in here.
Arguments:
data: Slice object keyed by symbol containing the stock data
'''
if(data.HasData) :
if data.ContainsKey(self.cboeVix):
#do code

vix = data.Get(CBOE, self.cboeVix) vixValue = vix.CloseAnd then this is what I do with the data

Hi Pangyuteng,
If we click on the csv links, they bring us to an error page. Furthermore, if those links did work, we'd need to use the Download method along with StringIO as shown here.
As an alternative, I'd suggest downloading the data from Yahoo Finance and uploading the csv to Github or Dropbox.
Best,
