The Y!Finance API provides what the official Yahoo! Finance API did until it was shut down. Using the Python libraries Flask and yfinance, Y!Finance API serves financial data from Yahoo! Finance.
- Use the virtual environment:
python3 -m venv .venv - Install the required dependencies:
pip3 install -r requirements.txt - Run the app:
flask --app yfinance_api run
The endpoints serve JSON data about a specific stock ticker -- With the exception of /api/download, which responds with a CSV file. Each endpoint requires a ticker parameter. For example: http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/actions?ticker=MSFT.
Here are all the endpoints:
