Yahoo Finance data integration for AI Flowi Workflow

If you are searching for “Yahoo Finance API Python,” AI Flowi Workflow provides a native Yahoo! Finance component whose catalogue description identifies the Python yfinance package as unofficial. Set a symbol and choose one of fifteen exported method values, then inspect the Table output. This is a wrapper reference, not an official Yahoo API or Python SDK tutorial.

The native data entry is documented in the catalogue; not production-tested by Ai Flowi. This page uses AI Flowi Workflow 1.9.2, exported on 9 October 2026, and supplies no live market figures, investment recommendations or recorded retrieval results.

The native Yahoo Finance data wrapper

Component identity: yahoosearch.YfinanceComponent. The catalogue identifies yfinance as an unofficial package used to access financial data and market information from Yahoo! Finance. See the catalogue index for its location.

The word “unofficial” is material to this contract. The component description does not establish an official provider SDK, licensed market-data feed, redistribution permission or service commitment. Confirm that the access path and intended use suit your task before adding its output to a shared report.

Symbol, selected method and news-count setting

The Yahoo Finance input and method tables have their own horizontal scroll regions for smaller screens.

Yahoo! Finance: complete input contract
Input	Type / required	Accepted connections / choices	Configuration meaning
`method`	`str` / No	Types not exported Choices: `"get_info"`, `"get_news"`, `"get_actions"`, `"get_analysis"`, `"get_balance_sheet"`, `"get_calendar"`, `"get_cashflow"`, `"get_institutional_holders"`, `"get_recommendations"`, `"get_sustainability"`, `"get_major_holders"`, `"get_mutualfund_holders"`, `"get_insider_purchases"`, `"get_insider_transactions"`, `"get_insider_roster_holders"`	Method selector. Every exported value is listed below; the export does not specify a default.
`num_news`	`int` / No	Types not exported	Optional integer news-count control. Applicability outside get_news, accepted range and enforcement are not documented.
`symbol`	`str` / No	`Message`	Optional symbol string accepting Message. Symbol syntax, exchange resolution and supported instruments are not exported.

Set symbol and method explicitly rather than relying on editor defaults. Verify the symbol against the intended instrument before interpreting returned information; an accepted string does not establish that the selected record represents the intended security.

All fifteen exported method choices

Yahoo Finance method selector: complete exported inventory
Exact method value	Inspection focus suggested by the name
`"get_info"`	Inspect the returned information fields; no standardized overview schema is exported.
`"get_news"`	Inspect symbol-related news records and the effect of num_news.
`"get_actions"`	Inspect the returned action records and any date or unit fields present.
`"get_analysis"`	Inspect the analysis representation without treating it as a workflow-generated conclusion.
`"get_balance_sheet"`	Inspect statement periods, labels and units before selecting a figure.
`"get_calendar"`	Inspect the actual calendar representation and any applicable time context.
`"get_cashflow"`	Inspect cash-flow labels and periods separately from balance-sheet data.
`"get_institutional_holders"`	Inspect holder records and any as-of information available.
`"get_recommendations"`	Inspect the source representation; retrieval is not investment advice from Ai Flowi.
`"get_sustainability"`	Inspect whether usable sustainability-related fields are actually returned.
`"get_major_holders"`	Inspect this holder representation without assuming the institutional-holder schema.
`"get_mutualfund_holders"`	Inspect the mutual-fund holder representation and its applicable date.
`"get_insider_purchases"`	Inspect purchase-related records without inventing completeness or field names.
`"get_insider_transactions"`	Inspect transaction records separately from the purchases selection.
`"get_insider_roster_holders"`	Inspect the roster representation; no standardized identity columns are exported.

The second column describes what to inspect based on each selector’s name. It is not a verified provider response specification. The catalogue lists choices, not populated datasets, column definitions or successful support for every method in the current deployment.

One Table port for method-dependent results

Exported output ports by component identity
Component identity	Display label	Port name	Type
`yahoosearch.YfinanceComponent`	Table	`dataframe`	`Table`

The direct wrapper exposes dataframe as Table. That shared port type does not mean the fifteen methods return identical columns or shapes. A news result, statement result and holder result should be inspected independently before using a common formatter or mapping any field into a report.

Keep the symbol and selected method with the observed output. For statement-related trials, inspect any period, currency or unit labels actually available; do not assume them from the method name. Missing values, missing columns and an execution error are different conditions. Preserve the condition you observed rather than converting it into a zero or an empty financial conclusion.

Inspect a symbol-specific news retrieval

Yahoo! Finance exposes no account selector in this snapshot; the access overview covers product connection setup separately from the wrapper’s data-use permissions.

example configuration, not a recorded test

Add Yahoo! Finance, identity yahoosearch.YfinanceComponent. Set symbol to a provider-recognized test symbol you have independently checked; this page supplies no assumed instrument or quote.
Choose "get_news" in method and set num_news to 3. Three is an illustrative trial setting, not an exported default or a promise of three records.
Display the selected Yahoo method through a Chat Output node, connecting the wrapper’s dataframe to input_value.
Inspect the actual news representation for source references, date context and association with the selected symbol. Do not assume that every mentioned company is the selected instrument.
For a separate statement trial, keep the checked symbol and select "get_balance_sheet". Inspect that Table independently; the news inspection does not validate statement columns or financial periods.

Follow the Chat Output contract for presenting each selected Yahoo dataset.

News retrieval is specific to this wrapper

The keyword “Yahoo Finance news API” does not establish a general Yahoo News search interface here. The node combines a symbol field, a method selector containing "get_news" and a news-count setting. No general news query, topic selector or publisher filter is exported.

Read an inspected news source before summarizing its claim. A returned record can be relevant background without establishing a financial fact about the selected instrument. This page provides no current news claim and no assumption that the wrapper returns complete article text.

What are the access, method and reporting boundaries of Yahoo Finance?

Unofficial-package access can change, and the export supplies no package version, retry policy, provider error schema or service-level agreement. It also exposes no historical-price range, interval, trade order or licensing field. Do not infer those capabilities from the broader Python ecosystem.

Use a suitable authorized data service when the task requires contractual data availability, defined update frequency or redistribution rights. For an internal reporting experiment, check each dataset’s actual meaning and period before using it. The report automation guide covers a separate operational-export workflow; it does not validate this market-data retrieval or its accuracy.

Choose a method for a specific dataset question

Suppose an internal experiment asks whether recent symbol-related news mentions the same business as a supplied statement dataset. Begin with the independently checked symbol and "get_news". Inspect the records’ actual source references and publication context. A story mentioning several businesses is not automatically a statement about the selected instrument. Keep the instrument association as a question to resolve from the article, rather than treating the symbol used for retrieval as proof of every story’s subject.

For the statement side, select "get_balance_sheet" in a separate inspection. Look for the reported entity and period in the returned representation or its resolvable source. Compare those with the experiment’s intended business and period before using a figure. If period labels are absent, do not align a column with a news date by its position alone. A retrieval made today does not establish that all figures concern today or the same reporting period.

Switching to "get_cashflow" asks for another representation, not another column of the previous Table. Inspect its labels afresh. Do not transfer a selected balance-sheet field into a cash-flow mapping merely because the output port is unchanged. The same caution applies when comparing "get_major_holders" with "get_institutional_holders": first determine what each actual result identifies, then decide whether any relationship can be supported from those records.

For a news-count exercise, preserve the checked symbol and "get_news" selection while altering num_news. Inspect the returned records without interpreting a larger requested count as a longer time window. There is no time-range field on this node. If the task requires all coverage in a specified period, a few symbol-related candidates cannot establish that requirement, and changing the count does not add a missing date-boundary control.

Choose a method by the dataset needed, then confirm its representation before combining anything. If a holder record lacks an applicable date, keep that limitation attached to it rather than using the news publication date as a substitute. If a statement field is unreported, preserve its absence rather than interpreting it as a business event. These are dataset-selection decisions for this unofficial wrapper; the linked report guide covers the later report construction once the evidence is suitable.
