What problem does it solve?
yfinance eliminates the manual effort of looking up stock, ETF, and fundamental data by retrieving quotes, historical bars, fundamentals, analyst views, earnings, options, holdings, and SEC filings in a consistent structured way.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Unified market-data retrieval: Get current quotes, historical OHLCV (including intraday and corporate-action events), and news for multiple asset types.
- Fundamentals & analyst coverage: Pull company profiles and valuation metrics, plus analyst recommendations, target changes, and consensus earnings estimates.
- Event discovery and investment research: Find market-wide earnings/IPO/splits/economic calendars, screen tickers, and drill into ownership, insider activity, options chains, and fund holdings.
Quick Start
Use the yfinance skill to answer “What is AAPL trading at, what is its YTD performance, and what’s its P/E ratio?” by requesting a current quote, YTD history summary, and valuation snapshot.
