Description
Experience Level: Intermediate
Industry: Business
Analysis tool: Excel
Description of analysis: Hello,
I am looking for some support on extracting historical share price and company financial data from Yahoo Finance (or other sources if you have better ideas).
First up I would like a large download of historical information, covering financial data (income statement and balance sheet information) and share price data (including dividend information). I still need to define exactly what I need in this dataset- i.e. the list of companies, data fields and date range. For the latter, as a rough guide I'll be looking to track back at least 10-20 years for the annual (or quarterly if possible) financial data and daily share price data.
Secondly I would like a way to keep this dataset up-to-date. A daily refresh would suffice. I would like this update to be low maintenance though. For example I would prefer it if this was automated/semi-automated using the Yahoo Finance API, rather than having to scrape data or manually download files from the website.
I will scope the exact project requirements early next week, but in the meantime, can you please contact me if you are interested in supporting me on this project. I am especially interested in talking to people who have worked with Yahoo Finance data extraction before. If you are able to give me a steer on how long something like this will take, that would also be very helpful (acknowledging that my scope is far from precise at this stage). I will review the proposals that come in over the weekend and make a decision on Monday.
Many thanks
Steve

Hi,
Looks like Yahoo Finance Webservice API is depricated since mid 2016.
Could you be more specific which country stock exchange historical data you would like have. It would be helpful in finding the right service to pick the data online.
Thanks,
Sai Chakrapani. Sunkara
