What This Skill Does

The yahooquery skill is a powerful interface for the OpenClaw agent to interact with Yahoo Finance. It provides real-time access to a vast array of market data, allowing users to pull historical pricing, fundamental financial reports, analyst estimates, and detailed company profiles. By leveraging the underlying library, the agent can retrieve complex data points such as option chains, balance sheets, and cash flow statements, making it an essential tool for quantitative analysis and stock market monitoring.

Installation

You can integrate this skill into your environment using the OpenClaw CLI. Ensure you have the necessary dependencies installed by running the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/512z/yahooquery.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for financial analysts, investors, and developers building automated trading bots or research dashboards. Common use cases include:

• Automated Research: Quickly fetching the latest analyst ratings and earnings history for a portfolio of stocks.
• Trend Analysis: Comparing historical pricing data against key valuation metrics like P/E ratios or debt-to-equity to identify undervalued assets.
• Market Screening: Utilizing the Screener class to identify stocks meeting specific technical criteria, such as "most active" or "day gainers," to keep a pulse on market movement.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current price, 52-week range, and P/E ratio for NVDA and provide a summary of their recent analyst recommendations."
2. "List the top 5 'most active' stocks right now and show me the annual revenue trend for each over the last 3 years."
3. "Fetch the balance sheet and cash flow statement for Apple (AAPL) and calculate their debt-to-equity ratio based on the latest quarterly report."

Tips & Limitations

• Rate Limiting: While the library is robust, be mindful of Yahoo Finance's strict rate limits; heavy requests for large lists of tickers may result in temporary bans.
• Premium Content: Note that accessing proprietary research reports requires valid Yahoo Finance subscription credentials; ensure your environment securely handles these if you plan to use the Research class.
• Data Accuracy: Always verify critical financial decisions against official SEC filings or primary documents, as third-party data APIs can occasionally contain stale or misaligned information.
