We need to import datetime and matplotlib to save an image of the stock market data for AAPL. This is great, however I'd like to see the closing price of the stock over time, things will now get more complex. home/bot/PycharmProjects/finance/venv/bin/python /home/bot/PycharmProjects/finance/main.py We are just going to look at the last share price someone paid. Running the program just gives us the lastPrice from the New York Stock Exchange. I just wanted to give you a taste of what is possible.

This is a lot of information so we will simplify it. This data includes the date, opening price, high price, low price, closing price, and volume of shares traded for each day in the past month. Next, it uses the 'history' method of the 'apple' object to retrieve the historical stock price data for the past month and assigns it to the 'hist' variable.įinally, it prints the data stored in the 'hist' variable using the 'print' function. Then, it creates an object named 'apple' of the 'Ticker' class from the yfinance library, with the ticker symbol 'aapl' for Apple Inc. The script imports the yfinance library with the alias 'yf'. home/bot/PycharmProjects/finance/venv/bin/python /home/bot/PycharmProjects/finance/main.p

It provides a simple and convenient way to access a wide range of financial data for a given stock symbol, including historical price data, financial statements, and other information. Yfinance is a Python library that allows us to easily download financial data from Yahoo Finance. Import the yfinance library and write some code to start. I usually assume people have about a year of practical programming experience and try to explain everything in novice terms. If you are new to my LinkedIn tutorials, I like to start from the beginning.
