Introduction

Classes

The majority of the data available through the unofficial API can be obtained through the use of three classes:

• Ticker - Retrieve company-specific data
• Screener - Retrieve lists of stocks based on certain criteria
• Research - Retrieve proprietary research reports and trade ideas (REQUIRES YAHOO FINANCE PREMIUM SUBSCRIPTION).

Each class inherits functionality from a base class, _YahooFinance. As such, each class will accept the same keyword arguments, which allows the user to make asynchronous requests, validate ticker symbols, retry failed requests, and much more.
