我有一个错误提示 ValueError: time data '31 days, 0:00:00' does not match format '%Y-%m-%d'

Question

I am trying to retrieve stock data using this method but it gives me an error about the date format. I'm confused please help

My Method

def getPrice(stock):
    today = date.today()
    monthAgo = today = timedelta(days=31)
    data = pdr.get_data_yahoo(stock, start=monthAgo, end=today)
    df = pd.DataFrame(data)
    for index, row in df.iterrows():
        addPrice(row, index.strftime("%Y-%M-%d"), stock)

My Error

You should remember this,

• String to a datetime object, we need to use strptime ..
• A datetime object to other formats, we need to use strftime ..

Try this,

from datetime import datetime
datetime.strptime('31 days, 0:00:00', "%d days, %H:%M:%S")              
Out[4]: datetime.datetime(1900, 1, 31, 0, 0)
# the year and month are defaults as you don't have them and a date without a year and month doesn't makes sense either;
