iexfinance 0.5.0

Daily

To obtain daily historical price data for one or more symbols, use the get_historical_data function. This will return a daily time-series of the ticker requested over the desired date range (start and end passed as datetime.datetime objects):

from datetime import datetime
from iexfinance.stocks import get_historical_data

start = datetime(2017, 1, 1)
end = datetime(2018, 1, 1)

df = get_historical_data("TSLA", start, end)

To obtain daily closing prices only (reduces message count), set close_only=True:

df = get_historical_data("TSLA", "20190617", close_only=True)

For Pandas DataFrame output formatting, pass output_format:

df = get_historical_data("TSLA", start, end, output_format='pandas')

It’s really simple to plot this data, using matplotlib:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

df.plot()
plt.show()

Minutely (Intraday)

To obtain historical intraday data, use get_historical_intraday as follows. Pass an optional date to specify a date within three months prior to the current day (default is current date):

from datetime import datetime
from iexfinance.stocks import get_historical_intraday

date = datetime(2018, 11, 27)

get_historical_intraday("AAPL", date)

or for a Pandas Dataframe indexed by each minute:

get_historical_intraday("AAPL", output_format='pandas')
