finyahoo

English | 한국어

Read prices and fundamentals from Yahoo Finance.

Daily, weekly, and monthly open/high/low/close and volume, the adjusted close, dividends and splits, company fundamentals (sector, market cap, valuation, ...), live quotes, options, screeners, and news.

1. Install

pip install finyahoo

Requires Python 3.11+.

2. Quickstart

from finyahoo import YahooClient

yahoo = YahooClient()
history = yahoo.fetch_history("AAPL", start="2020-01-01")
latest = history.bars[-1]
print(latest.trade_date, latest.close, latest.adj_close, latest.volume)
print(len(history.splits), "splits,", len(history.dividends), "dividends")

profile = yahoo.fetch_profile("AAPL")
print(profile.sector, profile.market_cap, profile.trailing_pe)

Symbols are Yahoo tickers: a US stock is bare (AAPL), a Korean one carries the market suffix (005930.KS KOSPI, .KQ KOSDAQ), an index is caret-prefixed (^GSPC). A delisted or unknown ticker raises YahooRequestError, not an empty result.

3. Client options

YahooClient takes two optional keyword-only settings:

yahoo = YahooClient(timeout=10, delay_seconds=1.0)

4. Methods

The two core reads

• fetch_history — a PriceHistory: OHLCV bars (close split-adjusted, adj_close also dividend-adjusted), plus the Split and Dividend events that fell in the same span, carried as data. Both bounds inclusive; both default to the widest window Yahoo has.
• fetch_profile — a Profile: one symbol's fundamentals (sector, size, valuation, growth, margins). A snapshot as of now, not history; every numeric field is optional and a missing one is None, never 0.

5. DataFrames

Every result record is a dataclass, so pandas or polars tabulates it directly:

import pandas as pd
prices = pd.DataFrame(history.bars).set_index("trade_date")

import polars as pl
prices = pl.DataFrame(history.bars)

The same works for history.splits, history.dividends, a screen's members, or a fetch_quotes(...) result.

6. Command line

Installing the package puts a finyahoo command on PATH (also python -m finyahoo):

finyahoo history AAPL --start 2024-01-01  # OHLCV bars + split/dividend events
finyahoo history ^GSPC --timeframe week   # weekly bars for an index
finyahoo profile AAPL                     # current fundamentals
finyahoo profile 005930.KS --json         # full snapshot as JSON
finyahoo quote MU                         # live price snapshot for one symbol
finyahoo news MSFT                        # related news headlines for one symbol
finyahoo match Microsoft                  # Yahoo symbols matching a name or ticker

Each subcommand prints a readable summary by default and the full result with --json; --help on any of them (finyahoo quote --help) lists the flags. quote takes one symbol and prints its live price snapshot; profile prints that symbol's fundamentals; news lists a symbol's related headlines and match resolves a name or ticker to Yahoo symbols (both take -n/--count).

7. Use it from an AI coding agent

This repo doubles as a plugin marketplace for Claude Code and Codex, exposing history, profile, and quote as skills that shell out to the finyahoo command — so install the package first (above); no key or login is involved.

7.1. Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add seokhoonj/finyahoo
/plugin install finyahoo@finyahoo

Then ask in plain words ("show AAPL's profile", "what's MU trading at?"), or invoke a skill explicitly — /finyahoo:history ^GSPC, /finyahoo:profile AAPL, /finyahoo:quote MU.

7.2. Codex

codex plugin marketplace add seokhoonj/finyahoo
codex plugin add finyahoo@finyahoo

The history / profile / quote skills trigger on a symbol, or run finyahoo quote <symbol> directly.

Prefer no plugin? Symlink a skill into your skills directory and call it bare (/history):

ln -s "$PWD/plugins/finyahoo/skills/history" ~/.claude/skills/history
