newbie so apologies for the basic q.
How do I get intraday data from zipline?
I tried the following
start = datetime(2015, 1, 4, 9, 0, 0, 0, pytz.utc)
end = datetime(2015, 1, 4, 16, 0, 0, 0, pytz.utc)
data = zp.utils.factory.load_from_yahoo(stocks=['AAPL'], indexes={}, start=start,
end=end, adjusted=False)
But it came back with an error.
Hi Krisan,
The general information about Zipline is available here and there is also a Google Group for support and discussions.
To answer your question, I actually don't think the load_from_yahoo method gets you intraday data, only daily. But I may be wrong on this!
Cheers,

Can someone explain to me what you mean by "intraday" data considering that you can get minute level data natively. Does zipline break it down to seconds, ticks, market depth, etc?
Hi JS,
In the Quantopian Backtester, "intraday" data basically means you get minutely pricing data for all the minute in a trading day.
I'm not too sure on the Zipline side, I believe that has more to do with the source of data (whether that's on a minutely or daily basis). If you want more Zipline help, I'd suggest checking out (http://zipline.io/) and (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/zipline)
Thanks,
Seong

Eric, do you mind pointing me to where it explains how to access this minute level data? Because anything I try seems to be day level data...
Thanks.
Hi Dustin,
That's for live trading, right? What about when your on your notebook doing research? I'm new in the platform.
