JarCastingYahoo Finance Scraper
Yahoo Finance discontinued their official API, but data can still be accessed. This project exposes that data as a Java project. There is an Example included which is intended to show how to access data relevant to a specific company.
To get started, clone the project and run:
./gradlew build
To try it out, run this command
./gradlew run
It will output Yahoo's recommendation mean for a couple of stocks.
The Example for code looks like this:
for (String symbol : args) {
YahooFinanceUrlBuilder builder =
new YahooFinanceUrlBuilder().modules(YahooFinanceModules.values()).symbol(symbol);
YahooFinanceRequest request = new YahooFinanceRequest();
YahooFinanceData financeData = request.getFinanceData(request.invoke(builder));
if (financeData.getFinancialData() != null) {
FinancialData financials = financeData.getFinancialData();
System.out.println(symbol + ": currentPrice: $" + financials.getCurrentPrice().getRaw()
+ "; recommendationMean " + financials.getRecommendationMean().getRaw());
}
}
Which will output something like this:
fb: currentPrice: $198.2235; recommendationMean 1.8
amzn: currentPrice: $1723.34; recommendationMean 1.7
baba: currentPrice: $208.42; recommendationMean 1.7
