I'm having a bit of a problem trying to get my code to compile. Looks like the line with main_df = df is causing a failure, and I don't quite understand why.

Any help is much appreciated.

import quandl
import pandas as pd

# API key was removed
api_key = 'X'
fiddy_states = pd.read_html('https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states',flavor='html5lib')

main_df = pd.DataFrame()

for abbv in fiddy_states[0][0][1:]:
    query = "FMAC/HPI_"+str(abbv)
    df = quandl.get(query, authtoken=api_key)

    if main_df.empty:
        main_df = df
    else:
        main_df = main_df.join(df)

print(main_df.head())

I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:/Users/Dave/Documents/Python Files/helloworld.py", line 17, in main_df = main_df.join(df)

File "C:\Python35\lib\site-packages\pandas\core\frame.py", line 4385, in join rsuffix=rsuffix, sort=sort)

You can pass a list of codes to the quandl.get function, then you get a dataframe back with data for each code in a column. Code: 

import quandl
import pandas as pd

fiddy_states = pd.read_html('https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states', flavor='html5lib')
data = quandl.get(["FMAC/HPI_"+s for s in fiddy_states[0][0][1:]])
