YFS

Yahoo Finance Scraper with a WYSIWYG approach.

Want to scrape data from the summary page use the get_summary_page function. Want to scrape the summary pages of a list of symbols use the get_multiple_summary_pages function. The returned object can be serialized with .json, .dict, and depending on the object .dataframe methods. Each function can accept a proxy to help avoid rate limiting. In fact in the future you can install requests-whaor ANOTHER WORK IN PROGRESS which supplies a rotating proxy to bypass rate limits.

Before you start please note adding historical data to this API is not a priority. At some point I will get around to it. My main focus are options, quote information and symbol lookup. So please do not raise issues about historical data.

• Company and Symbol lookup
• Summary Page

How to scrape multiple summary pages from yahoo finance.

from yfs import get_multiple_summary_pages

search_items = ["Apple", "tsla", "Microsoft", "AMZN"]

summary_results = get_multiple_summary_pages(search_items)
for page in summary_results:
    print(page.json(indent=4))
    break  # To shorten up the quick-start output.

COLUMNS = [
    "close",
    "change",
    "percent_change",
    "average_volume",
    "market_cap",
    "earnings_date",
]
print(summary_results.dataframe[COLUMNS])
