Pulls price history and company research data for US, Hong Kong and Canadian stocks, ETFs and indices from Yahoo Finance, with no API key.

Works in 7 steps: Historical OHLCV → Company Info → Financial Statements → …
Downloading daily price bars for a US or Canadian ticker
SKILL.md covers Overview, Deep Yahoo Interfaces…, Quick Start and Ticker Format Conversion, plus 3 more sections
Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

This skill explains how to get market data through yfinance, the open-source Python wrapper for Yahoo Finance. Beyond OHLCV bars it reaches company info, financial statements, options, holders and insider transactions, and it needs no registration or API key.

Inside the Vibe-Trading project a built-in yfinance loader switches on when a backtest sets its data source to yfinance or auto. For plain price bars the skill prefers the get_market_data tool, which normalizes symbols and drops malformed rows, and saves direct yfinance calls for the other data types. Six reference documents describe the project's own Yahoo client (chart, quote summary, options, search) and the get_options_chain and get_stock_profile tools. The agent is told to open only the one it needs, and calls share one throttled gate because Yahoo limits by source IP.

When your agent uses it

Downloading daily price bars for a US or Canadian ticker
Looking up financial statements or insider transactions for a company
Pulling an options chain for a US stock
Choosing a free data source for a backtest

Example prompts

“Get the last year of daily bars for SPY and summarize the trend.”
“Show the income statement and major holders for Shopify's Toronto listing.”
“Pull the nearest-expiry option chain for AAPL and list the calls near the money.”
“Run my backtest with the yfinance source instead of auto.”

Requirements

Python with the yfinance package, or the project's built-in Yahoo client
Network access to Yahoo Finance

Context cost

yfinance Market Data loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 676 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~2.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~6.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

category: data-source

yfinance

Overview

yfinance is an open-source Python wrapper for Yahoo Finance, providing global market data (US, HK, and Canadian stocks, ETFs, indices) including historical and real-time quotes. Completely free, no registration or API key required.

The project has a built-in yfinance DataLoader (backtest/loaders/yfinance_loader.py). When backtesting, set source: "yfinance" or source: "auto" to invoke it automatically.

For OHLCV bars in agent/swarm work, prefer the get_market_data tool when it is available. It routes through the project loader layer, normalizes symbols, removes malformed OHLC rows, and returns strict JSON. Use direct yfinance calls mainly for data outside OHLCV coverage such as company info, financial statements, options, holders, and insider transactions.

Deep Yahoo Interfaces (references/)

Beyond the yfinance package, the project ships a built-in Yahoo public-API client (backtest.loaders.yahoo_client) and two read-only agent tools that sit on top of it. These reach Yahoo's own unauthenticated JSON endpoints directly via requests (no yfinance install needed), share one throttled HTTP gate (Yahoo rate-limits by source IP), and handle the cookie+crumb handshake automatically. Each interface has its own reference doc — read the one you need rather than loading them all:

Doc	Covers
yahoo_client.get_chart	Direct v8 OHLCV bars (range or epoch window)
yahoo_client.get_quote_summary	v10 quoteSummary modules (key stats, financials, ownership)
yahoo_client.get_options	v7 option chain (expirations + calls/puts)
yahoo_client.search	v1 instrument search by ticker/name
get_options_chain tool	Agent tool: US options ladder envelope
get_stock_profile tool	Agent tool: company profile/estimates/ownership envelope

Path convention: every link above is written relative to this document (references/...), the form GitHub resolves when the file is opened in a browser. read_file resolves the same string against the skill that owns it, so the agent and a human reader reach one file. Reuse the relative form for any new reference docs, and keep reference paths unique across skills: a path two skills both carry is reported as ambiguous rather than guessed.

The Yahoo client uses the project ticker convention (AAPL.US → AAPL, 00700.HK → 0700.HK, TD.TO and PNG.V pass through); see the Ticker Format Conversion table below — the same rules apply across all of the interfaces above.

Quick Start

Preferred OHLCV tool call:

json

{
  "codes": ["AAPL.US", "700.HK", "TD.TO", "PNG.V"],
  "start_date": "2025-01-01",
  "end_date": "2026-01-01",
  "source": "yfinance",
  "interval": "1D"
}

If you must write a Python script for OHLCV, use the DataLoader instead of raw yf.download:

python

from backtest.loaders.registry import get_loader_cls_with_fallback

loader = get_loader_cls_with_fallback("yfinance")()
data = loader.fetch(
    ["AAPL.US", "700.HK", "TD.TO", "PNG.V"],
    "2025-01-01",
    "2026-01-01",
    interval="1D",
)

for symbol, df in data.items():
    print(symbol, df.tail())

Ticker Format Conversion

The project uses a unified ticker format. The DataLoader automatically converts to yfinance format:

Project Format	yfinance Format	Market
`AAPL.US`	`AAPL`	US stock
`MSFT.US`	`MSFT`	US stock
`700.HK`	`0700.HK`	HK stock
`9988.HK`	`9988.HK`	HK stock
`TD.TO`	`TD.TO`	Toronto Stock Exchange stock
`PNG.V`	`PNG.V`	TSX Venture stock
`SPY.US`	`SPY`	US ETF

Rules:

US stocks: strip the .US suffix → use the raw ticker
HK stocks: keep .HK, pad the number to 4 digits (700 → 0700)
Canadian stocks: keep .TO (TSX) or .V (TSXV) unchanged

Supported Data Types

1. Historical OHLCV

Prefer get_market_data for OHLCV whenever the tool is available:

json

{
  "codes": ["AAPL.US", "MSFT.US", "GOOGL.US"],
  "start_date": "2025-01-01",
  "end_date": "2026-01-01",
  "source": "yfinance",
  "interval": "1D",
  "max_rows": 250
}

For script-based OHLCV analysis, use the loader:

python

from backtest.loaders.registry import get_loader_cls_with_fallback

loader = get_loader_cls_with_fallback("yfinance")()

# Single stock
single = loader.fetch(["AAPL.US"], "2025-01-01", "2026-01-01", interval="1D")

# Specific interval
hourly = loader.fetch(["AAPL.US"], "2026-03-01", "2026-03-30", interval="1H")

Supported intervals:

Minute-level: 1m, 2m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 90m
Hourly: 1h
Daily and above: 1d, 5d, 1wk, 1mo, 3mo

Minute data limits:

1m: up to 7 days of history
2m/5m/15m/30m/60m/90m: up to 60 days
1h: up to 730 days
1d and above: unlimited

2. Company Info

python

ticker = yf.Ticker("AAPL")

info = ticker.info
print(f"Company: {info.get('longName')}")
print(f"Industry: {info.get('industry')}")
print(f"Market cap: {info.get('marketCap')}")
print(f"PE: {info.get('trailingPE')}")
print(f"EPS: {info.get('trailingEps')}")
print(f"Dividend yield: {info.get('dividendYield')}")

3. Financial Statements

python

ticker = yf.Ticker("AAPL")

# Income statement (annual)
income = ticker.financials
# Income statement (quarterly)
income_q = ticker.quarterly_financials

# Balance sheet
balance = ticker.balance_sheet

# Cash flow statement
cashflow = ticker.cashflow

# Earnings data
earnings = ticker.earnings

4. Dividends and Splits

python

ticker = yf.Ticker("AAPL")

# Dividend history
dividends = ticker.dividends

# Stock split history
splits = ticker.splits

# All corporate actions
actions = ticker.actions

5. Institutional Holdings

python

ticker = yf.Ticker("AAPL")

# Institutional holders
holders = ticker.institutional_holders

# Major holders summary
major = ticker.major_holders

# Insider transactions
insider = ticker.insider_transactions

6. Indices and ETFs

python

# Major indices
sp500 = yf.download("^GSPC", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)  # S&P 500
nasdaq = yf.download("^IXIC", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)  # NASDAQ
hsi = yf.download("^HSI", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)      # Hang Seng Index

# ETFs
spy = yf.download("SPY", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)
qqq = yf.download("QQQ", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)

7. FX Rates

python

# Currency pairs
usdcny = yf.download("CNY=X", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)
usdhkd = yf.download("HKD=X", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)
eurusd = yf.download("EURUSD=X", start="2025-01-01", end="2026-01-01", progress=False)

Backtest Usage

config.json Example

json

{
  "source": "yfinance",
  "codes": ["AAPL.US", "MSFT.US"],
  "start_date": "2020-01-01",
  "end_date": "2026-03-30",
  "initial_cash": 1000000,
  "commission": 0.001,
  "extra_fields": null
}

Cross-Market Auto Mode

json

{
  "source": "auto",
  "codes": ["000001.SZ", "AAPL.US", "700.HK", "BTC-USDT"],
  "start_date": "2024-01-01",
  "end_date": "2026-03-30",
  "initial_cash": 1000000,
  "commission": 0.001,
  "extra_fields": null
}

source: "auto" routes automatically by ticker format: A-shares → the China fallback chain, HK stocks → the HK chain, Canadian .TO/.V stocks → Yahoo/yfinance, and crypto → OKX.

Notes

Free, no API key: yfinance scrapes Yahoo Finance public data — no registration needed
Rate limits: high-frequency requests may trigger temporary Yahoo bans — prefer batch downloads over per-ticker loops
Minute data range: limited by Yahoo Finance (see table above)
HK tickers: Yahoo Finance uses 4-digit numbers + .HK; pad with leading zeros where needed
Adjustment: auto_adjust=True (default) returns forward-adjusted prices; the project loader uses auto_adjust=False
Timezone: returned data includes timezone info; the DataLoader strips it automatically
extra_fields not supported: yfinance via the backtest loader returns OHLCV only; PE/PB and other fundamentals require separate yf.Ticker().info calls
Comparison with Tushare: Tushare covers deep A-share data (financials, fund flows, block trades, etc.); yfinance covers global markets but with less depth
