After trying to run the script that is provided in the first tutorial, I get the following error:
asset = get_pricing('TSLA', fields='price', start_date=start, end_date=end) NameError: name 'get_pricing' is not defined
After getting this error, I tried to replace the exact code from the tutorial, which results in the same error. Can someone please help me in the right direction?
Best regards, Mike
@Mike I'm unable to reproduce the issue you describe. Are you running the notebook on the Quantopian research plaform, or on your own notebook server? The get_pricing API function will only work when running on Quantopian, since it's loading data from our database.

Is there a way to get the API running on a notebook? I presume the same applies to Fundamental Data as well. Is there a way to get things to run on a local istance of Python that queries the database like the pyfolio examples?
I ran into the same issue when running it on a local notebook server. Would this be resolved by installing zipline or can I only run the lectures on your plattform?
I have the same issue as listed above and I input the code as you said. However, the error still shows that the get_pricing is not defined.
I don't know how to solve this. Do I need to import any package to use this function?
The code shows as below:
df = get_pricing('inputs', start_date=start, end_date=end)
The error shows as below:
Runtime exception: NameError: name 'get_pricing' is not defined
Thanks
