I am having a problem on my paid account parsing RSS feeds using the feedparser.parse module.

The two urls I am having trouble parsing are: https://www.nasdaq.com/feed/rssoutbound?symbol={}

where {} = 'AAPL', for example,

and https://www.nasdaq.com/feed/rssoutbound?category=Investing

feed = feedparser.parse(url) ^CTraceback (most recent call last):

return self._sslobj.read(len, buffer)
KeyboardInterrupt

Based on the last few lines of the callback, it looks like there is an issue with ssl.py

Is there an SSL certificate I need to set up or something?

I receive similar errors when running

requests.get(url)

I made sure to install the most recent versions of feedparser for python3.7 and python 3.9 using:

$ pip install --user feedparser

$ pip install --user --upgrade feedparser

$ pip3.7 install --user feedparser

$ pip3.7 install --user --upgrade feedparser

It looks like you were running the code in the console and interrupted it -- could you show the actual error message?

right. the console (and also web application) stalls indefinitely unless I interrupt it. therefor there is no other error message from the console I can provide, sorry.

I did forget to mention though that I do not run into this problem when parsing RSS feeds from

url = 'https://www.investing.com/rss/stock_stock_picks.rss'

feed = feedparser.parse(url)

Could nasdaq.com be blacklisted?

Is it working outside of PythonAnywhere? What do you get when you curl those links?

Yes, it worked on my console (python3.7.4 and feedparser5.2.1).

I guess the problem was that this specific url doesn't work with feedparser6.0.10 on python3.7

I just started a virtualenv running python3.7 and feedparser5.2.1 and everything worked great!

Problem solved! Thank you for help

Glad you got that working!
