Are zipline data bundles no longer available?

prithvi_dhyani · June 20, 2024, 8:32am

I just installed zipline-reloaded and I’m trying to write some basic back-tests with it. How exactly do I get data for my project? I understand that data bundles need to be ‘ingested’ and stored locally, but where do I get these bundles from? Please keep in mind that I’m a beginner in programming, thanks!

Have you been doing one by one the chapters in the book or you went straight to chapter 6/7?

I’ve just started reading the book, but I also wanted to parallelly understand zipline. So far I’ve been able to install it locally in a conda environment but I haven’t figured out a way to get data to do anything…

I published a Colab notebook that works with the Quandl WIKIP stock data which is still available for free from NASDAQ Data Link.
