yahoo-finance_skill

Overview

This skill provides fast, terminal-style access to Yahoo Finance data for equities, bonds, macro indicators, FX, ETFs, and credit metrics. It exposes a compact set of commands to retrieve prices, quotes, fundamentals, macro dashboards, FX rates, ETF flows, news, options, dividends and analyst ratings. Outputs are human-friendly tables by default and machine-readable JSON with a --json flag. Use it to move quickly from a morning market check to deep financial and credit analysis.

How this skill works

Each command queries Yahoo Finance endpoints and formats results into clear terminal tables or JSON. Commands cover single-ticker lookups (price, quote, fundamentals, history, news), comparative views (compare), credit-focused metrics (credit), macro dashboards (macro), LatAm FX (fx), ETF holdings (flows), and options/dividends/ratings. The tool handles missing data and rate limits with informative errors and supports piping structured JSON into downstream tools.

When to use it

• Quick price and volume checks for a ticker (yf price).
• Detailed equity breakdowns including 52-week range, P/E, yield (yf quote).
• Credit reviews for leverage, interest coverage, and debt maturity (yf credit).
• Morning macro snapshot with UST yields, DXY, VIX, oil, gold, BTC and ARS (yf macro).
• LatAm FX monitoring for ARS, BRL, CLP, MXN, COP against a base (yf fx).
• ETF research to see top holdings, AUM and flows (yf flows).

Best practices

• Start your session with yf macro for the market backdrop before drilling into tickers.
• Use yf price for rapid checks and yf quote plus yf fundamentals for deep dives.
• Add --json when integrating results into scripts, dashboards, or automated reports.
• For credit work, combine yf credit with fundamentals and history to validate ratios.
• If you see rate-limit errors, wait a moment and retry; the tool surfaces clear retry guidance.

Example use cases

• Morning workflow: yf macro → yf price for watchlist tickers → yf news for headlines.
• Equity research: yf quote AAPL → yf fundamentals AAPL → yf history AAPL 1y for trend analysis.
• Credit assessment: yf credit YPF to get leverage, coverage and debt maturity breakdown.
• LatAm FX monitoring: yf fx USD to fetch ARS, BRL, CLP, MXN, COP rates in one call.
• ETF due diligence: yf flows EMB to review top holdings, expense ratio and AUM.
