**yfinance** offers a threaded and Pythonic way to download market data from [Yahoo!Ⓡ finance](https://finance.yahoo.com).

→ Check out this [Blog post](https://aroussi.com/#post/python-yahoo-finance) for a detailed tutorial with code examples.

[Changelog »](https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance/blob/main/CHANGELOG.rst)

---

## Quick Start

### The Ticker module

The `Ticker` module, which allows you to access ticker data in a more Pythonic way:

```python
import yfinance as yf

msft = yf.Ticker("MSFT")

# get stock info
msft.info

# get historical market data
hist = msft.history(period="max")

# show actions (dividends, splits)
msft.actions

# show dividends
msft.dividends

# show splits
msft.splits

# show financials
msft.financials
msft.quarterly_financials

# show major holders
msft.major_holders

# show institutional holders
msft.institutional_holders

# show balance sheet
msft.balance_sheet
msft.quarterly_balance_sheet

# show cashflow
msft.cashflow
msft.quarterly_cashflow

# show earnings
msft.earnings
msft.quarterly_earnings

# show sustainability
msft.sustainability

# show analysts recommendations
msft.recommendations

# show next event (earnings, etc)
msft.calendar

# show all earnings dates
msft.earnings_dates

# show ISIN code - *experimental*
# ISIN = International Securities Identification Number
msft.isin

# show options expirations
msft.options

# show news
msft.news

# get option chain for specific expiration
opt = msft.option_chain('YYYY-MM-DD')
# data available via: opt.calls, opt.puts
```

If you want to use a proxy server for downloading data, use:

```python
import yfinance as yf

msft = yf.Ticker("MSFT")

msft.history(..., proxy="PROXY_SERVER")
msft.get_actions(proxy="PROXY_SERVER")
msft.get_dividends(proxy="PROXY_SERVER")
msft.get_splits(proxy="PROXY_SERVER")
msft.get_balance_sheet(proxy="PROXY_SERVER")
msft.get_cashflow(proxy="PROXY_SERVER")
msft.option_chain(..., proxy="PROXY_SERVER")
...
```

To use a custom `requests` session (for example to cache calls to the
API or customize the `User-agent` header), pass a `session=` argument to
the Ticker constructor.

```python
import requests_cache
session = requests_cache.CachedSession('yfinance.cache')
session.headers['User-agent'] = 'my-program/1.0'
ticker = yf.Ticker('msft aapl goog', session=session)
# The scraped response will be stored in the cache
ticker.actions
```

To initialize multiple `Ticker` objects, use

```python
import yfinance as yf

tickers = yf.Tickers('msft aapl goog')
# ^ returns a named tuple of Ticker objects

# access each ticker using (example)
tickers.tickers.MSFT.info
tickers.tickers.AAPL.history(period="1mo")
tickers.tickers.GOOG.actions
```

### Fetching data for multiple tickers

```python
import yfinance as yf
data = yf.download("SPY AAPL", start="2017-01-01", end="2017-04-30")
```

I've also added some options to make life easier :)

```python
data = yf.download(  # or pdr.get_data_yahoo(...
        # tickers list or string as well
        tickers = "SPY AAPL MSFT",

        # use "period" instead of start/end
        # valid periods: 1d,5d,1mo,3mo,6mo,1y,2y,5y,10y,ytd,max
        # (optional, default is '1mo')
        period = "ytd",

        # fetch data by interval (including intraday if period < 60 days)
        # valid intervals: 1m,2m,5m,15m,30m,60m,90m,1h,1d,5d,1wk,1mo,3mo
        # (optional, default is '1d')
        interval = "1m",

        # Whether to ignore timezone when aligning ticker data from 
        # different timezones. Default is True. False may be useful for 
        # minute/hourly data.
        ignore_tz = False,

        # group by ticker (to access via data['SPY'])
        # (optional, default is 'column')
        group_by = 'ticker',

        # adjust all OHLC automatically
        # (optional, default is False)
        auto_adjust = True,

        # identify and attempt repair of currency unit mixups e.g. $/cents
        repair = False,

        # download pre/post regular market hours data
        # (optional, default is False)
        prepost = True,

        # use threads for mass downloading? (True/False/Integer)
        # (optional, default is True)
        threads = True,

        # proxy URL scheme use use when downloading?
        # (optional, default is None)
        proxy = None
    )
```

### Timezone cache store

When fetching price data, all dates are localized to stock exchange timezone. 
But timezone retrieval is relatively slow, so yfinance attemps to cache them 
in your users cache folder. 
You can direct cache to use a different location with `set_tz_cache_location()`:
```python
import yfinance as yf
yf.set_tz_cache_location("custom/cache/location")
...
```

### Managing Multi-Level Columns

The following answer on Stack Overflow is for [How to deal with
multi-level column names downloaded with
yfinance?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/63107801)

-   `yfinance` returns a `pandas.DataFrame` with multi-level column
    names, with a level for the ticker and a level for the stock price
    data
    -   The answer discusses:
        -   How to correctly read the the multi-level columns after
            saving the dataframe to a csv with `pandas.DataFrame.to_csv`
        -   How to download single or multiple tickers into a single
            dataframe with single level column names and a ticker column

---

## `pandas_datareader` override

If your code uses `pandas_datareader` and you want to download data
faster, you can "hijack" `pandas_datareader.data.get_data_yahoo()`
method to use **yfinance** while making sure the returned data is in the
same format as **pandas\_datareader**'s `get_data_yahoo()`.

```python
from pandas_datareader import data as pdr

import yfinance as yf
yf.pdr_override() # <== that's all it takes :-)

# download dataframe
data = pdr.get_data_yahoo("SPY", start="2017-01-01", end="2017-04-30")
```

---

## Installation

Install `yfinance` using `pip`:

``` {.sourceCode .bash}
$ pip install yfinance --upgrade --no-cache-dir
```
