from stockdex import Ticker
from datetime import datetime
ticker = Ticker(ticker="AAPL")
# Price data (use range and dataGranularity to make range and granularity more specific) from Yahoo Finance API
price = ticker.yahoo_api_price(range='1y', dataGranularity='1d')
# plot financial data using Plotly
ticker = Ticker(ticker="MSFT")
ticker.plot_yahoo_api_financials(group_by="field")
# Complete historical data of the stock in certain categories from digrin website
dividend = ticker.digrin_dividend

from stockdex import Ticker
etf = Ticker(isin="IE00B4L5Y983", security_type="etf")
