Yahoo Finance OHLCV → BigQuery: multi-interval ingestion + LLM-friendly docs + Stooq verification

yfinance-bigquery

Idempotent Yahoo Finance OHLCV → BigQuery ingestion across 5 intervals, with first-class documentation for SQL/LLM agents and internal-consistency verification.

Install

pip install yfinance-bigquery

Quickstart

gcloud auth application-default login

# 1. Seed your symbol universe from the S&P 500 Wikipedia page
yfinance-bigquery universe init \
    --dim-symbols myproject.mydataset.dim_symbols \
    --create-if-missing

# 2. Sync the last week of daily bars for every active ticker
yfinance-bigquery sync \
    --interval 1d \
    --dataset myproject.mydataset.yfinance_v2_analytics \
    --dim-symbols myproject.mydataset.dim_symbols

# 3. Spot-check internal consistency for the current year
yfinance-bigquery verify \
    --source internal \
    --interval 1d \
    --aggregation symbol-season \
    --metric all \
    --season 2026 \
    --table myproject.mydataset.ohlcv_1d

Backfill

Backfill all 5 intervals in resumable yearly chunks:

yfinance-bigquery sync \
    --interval all \
    --start 2020-01-01 --end 2026-05-11 \
    --chunk-by year --resume \
    --dataset myproject.mydataset.yfinance_v2_analytics \
    --dim-symbols myproject.mydataset.dim_symbols

--resume skips chunks already recorded as success in <dataset>._yfinance_ingest_runs. Override with --runs-table if you want the run log in a sidecar dataset. Re-running with the same --chunk-by is safe; switching --chunk-by year → month between runs will re-process (chunks must match exactly to skip).

Universe management

# Initialize dim_symbols (first run)
yfinance-bigquery universe init \
    --dim-symbols myproject.mydataset.dim_symbols \
    --create-if-missing

# Refresh constituents (tracks additions and marks removals with date_removed)
yfinance-bigquery universe refresh \
    --dim-symbols myproject.mydataset.dim_symbols

# List all active tickers
yfinance-bigquery universe list \
    --dim-symbols myproject.mydataset.dim_symbols

Documentation

yfinance-bigquery docs --format llm > LLM_CONTEXT.md

Five formats are supported: bq-apply (push column descriptions to BigQuery), llm (a single Markdown file suitable for stuffing into an LLM context window), dictionary (JSON rows for a data dictionary table), markdown (human-readable column reference), and dbt (a dbt YAML schema stub).

Verification

Internal-consistency checks run entirely inside BigQuery — no external data source required. All 5 metrics use zero-tolerance: any violation fraction > 0 is a FAIL.

# Check all metrics across all intervals for 2026
yfinance-bigquery verify \
    --source internal \
    --interval all \
    --aggregation symbol-season \
    --metric all \
    --season 2026 \
    --table-prefix myproject.mydataset.ohlcv

The 5 metrics are:

• ohlc_monotonic — high >= open/close >= low for every bar
• volume_non_negative — volume is NULL or >= 0
• no_future_bars — no bar has a trading_date after today
• trading_day_alignment — no weekend bars (1d) or out-of-hours bars (intraday)
• no_duplicate_bars — no two bars share the same (symbol, bar_start_utc)

Seed your data dictionary

If you maintain a data_dictionary table (one row per column with business definitions, tags, and lineage), you can seed it directly:

yfinance-bigquery docs --format dictionary --apply \
    --dataset mydataset \
    --table myproject.mydataset.ohlcv_1d \
    --dictionary-table myproject.shared_ops.data_dictionary

Atomically replaces rows for (dataset, table) only; other entries in the dictionary table are untouched. Required target schema:

dataset, table, column, dtype, description, business_definition,
owner, tags ARRAY<STRING>, source_system, upstream_lineage_json,
created_at TIMESTAMP, updated_at TIMESTAMP
