Note that you can return a dictionary instead of a DataFrame by setting the as_dataframe flag to False.

from yahoo_historical import Fetcher

import datetime
import time

# create unix timestamp representing January 1st, 2007
timestamp = time.mktime(datetime.datetime(2007, 1, 1).timetuple())

data = Fetcher("AAPL", timestamp)
print(data.get_historical(as_dataframe=False))
