It returns data as pandas DataFrames, making it easy to work with financial datasets in analysis pipelines. The package supports both single ticker lookups and batch requests for multiple symbols, and can use asynchronous requests for faster data retrieval.\n\nThe package depends on pandas for data structures, requests-futures for async HTTP, beautifulsoup4 and lxml for parsing, and curl-cffi for HTTP requests. It targets Python 3.9+. Premium Yahoo Finance subscribers can optionally install Selenium support to authenticate and access subscription-only data, though the core package works without it.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need quick access to Yahoo Finance data and can tolerate the unofficial API's stability risks. The low install friction and pandas integration make it convenient for financial analysis scripts. However, the aging maintenance status (last release 456 days ago) means the unofficial API could break without timely fixes, so verify current reliability before depending on it in production systems."},"id":"yahooquery","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yahooquery","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/yahooquery.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/yahooquery/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-05-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"yahooquery","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Python wrapper for an unofficial Yahoo Finance API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":162598,"position":10594,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"2.4.1"}
