Has Stock Beta been removed from ticker.info?

[mattpabi]

Hi, I have been looking around for available APIs to get the beta of a given stock.

I initially thought of using yfinance to do so, since coming across this question from Stack Overflow which clearly shows the users being able to do:

info = yf.Ticker('MSFT').info
beta = info['beta']

However, this does not seem to be the case anymore since 'beta' is not an available key in ticker.info as it returns:

info = yf.Ticker('MSFT').info
beta = info['beta']
>>> KeyError: 'beta'

Has beta been removed from yfinance? The beta data is still available on Yahoo's site.

Same question! Compared to just a week ago, a lot of data is now gone from 'info'

yfinance hasn't done anything. There used to be a bug, but was fixed here #1603. Maybe Yahoo changed their end?

[mattpabi]

Oh ok.

Which is a bit weird, given that yfinance is able to provide the 52 week high and low data from Yahoo, which should be categorised with beta as seen on the site here.

Is there any way we can check to hopefully re-add beta into info[]? @XingzheLi123 also mentioned some data is now gone after a recent update within this GitHub thread.
