Yahoo Finance Price

Yahoo Finance Price connects to Yahoo Finance's public market-data endpoints for stock and ETF price charts, symbol search, autocomplete, trending tickers, related-symbol recommendations, and predefined screeners. These are the same unofficial JSON endpoints that power the Yahoo Finance website. They require no API key, but Yahoo publishes no official SLA and can change or throttle them without notice.

Prerequisites​

The Yahoo Finance Price endpoints are public and unauthenticated, so no API key, token, or account sign-up is required to create a credential in Nexla. Before configuring a data source, review the following considerations:

  • No authentication. The endpoints under query1.finance.yahoo.com are read-only and open to public requests. You will create a Nexla credential only to name and store the connection; there are no secret values to enter.

  • No official SLA. Yahoo retired its official public finance API in 2017 and never replaced it. The endpoints used by this connector are unofficial and undocumented by Yahoo. They can change, rate-limit, or stop returning data at any time, so plan for occasional breakage and validate results before relying on them in production.

  • Symbols and parameters. Requests are keyed on standard ticker symbols (for example, AAPL) and, depending on the endpoint, a range, interval, region, or predefined screener ID. Confirm the values you intend to use ahead of time so your source returns the data you expect.

For general background on these endpoints, see the Yahoo Finance website.

Authenticate​

Because the Yahoo Finance Price endpoints require no authentication, the Nexla credential does not collect any secret fields. You create a credential only so the connection can be named, reused, and shared like any other Nexla credential.

Create a credential in Nexla​

  1. After selecting the data source type, click the Add Credential tile to open the Add New Credential overlay.

  2. Enter a name for the credential in the Credential Name field and a short, meaningful description in the Credential Description field.

  3. Click the Save button at the bottom of the overlay. The newly added credential will now appear in a tile on the Authenticate screen during data source creation.

    No API key or token is needed for this connector. If Nexla validates the credential, it does so against a public Yahoo Finance endpoint that does not require credentials.

Use as a data source​

To create a new data flow, navigate to the Integrate section, and click the New Data Flow button. Select the Yahoo Finance Price connector tile, then select the credential that will be used to connect, and click Next; or, create a new Yahoo Finance Price credential for use in this flow.

Endpoint templates​

Nexla provides pre-built templates that can be used to rapidly configure data sources to ingest data from common Yahoo Finance Price endpoints. Select the endpoint from which this source will fetch data from the Endpoint pulldown menu, and provide the required parameters for that endpoint. Available endpoint templates are listed in the expandable boxes below.

[Rest API] Get Price Chart

This endpoint template retrieves historical and intraday OHLCV (open, high, low, close, volume) price chart data for a single ticker over a specified range and interval. Use this template to ingest time-series price data for analysis, reporting, or downstream storage.

  • Symbol (required): The ticker symbol to retrieve the price chart for, for example AAPL.
  • Range (optional): The range of prices to retrieve, such as 1d, 5d, 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1y, 2y, 5y, ytd, or max. Defaults to 1mo.
  • Interval (optional): The interval between price points, such as 1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 1d, 1wk, or 1mo. Defaults to 1d.

Short intraday intervals such as 1m are only available for recent ranges. This is an unofficial Yahoo Finance endpoint with no published SLA; response structure and availability can change without notice.

[Rest API] Search Symbols

This endpoint template searches for tickers, companies, and ETFs that match a free-text query. Use this template to resolve company names or partial tickers into concrete symbols for use in other flows.

  • Query (required): A free-text search string, such as a company name or ticker fragment.

This is an unofficial Yahoo Finance endpoint with no published SLA; the set of returned matches and their fields can change without notice.

[Rest API] Autocomplete Symbols

This endpoint template returns ticker autocomplete suggestions for a partial query. Use this template to build symbol pickers or to expand incomplete ticker fragments into candidate matches.

  • Query (required): A partial ticker or company name string to autocomplete.

This is an unofficial Yahoo Finance endpoint with no published SLA; suggestion behavior and response fields can change without notice.

[Rest API] List Trending Symbols

This endpoint template retrieves the currently trending ticker symbols for a given market or region. Use this template to track which symbols are drawing the most attention in a specific market.

  • Region (optional): A two-letter market or region code for trending tickers, such as US, GB, or IN. Defaults to US.

This is an unofficial Yahoo Finance endpoint with no published SLA; the trending list and its refresh cadence are controlled by Yahoo and can change without notice.

[Rest API] Get Recommended Symbols

This endpoint template retrieves tickers that Yahoo considers related or similar to a given symbol. Use this template to discover comparable companies or ETFs for a symbol of interest.

  • Symbol (required): The ticker symbol to retrieve related or recommended symbols for, for example AAPL.

This is an unofficial Yahoo Finance endpoint with no published SLA; the recommendation logic and response fields can change without notice.

[Rest API] List Screener Symbols

This endpoint template retrieves tickers matching a predefined Yahoo Finance screener. Use this template to ingest curated lists such as the day's top gainers or most active symbols.

  • Screener ID (required): A predefined screener ID, such as day_gainers, day_losers, most_actives, or undervalued_growth_stocks. Defaults to day_gainers.

This is an unofficial Yahoo Finance endpoint with no published SLA; the available screener IDs and their contents are controlled by Yahoo and can change without notice.

Once the selected endpoint template has been configured, click the Test button to the right of the endpoint selection menu to retrieve a sample of the data that will be fetched. Sample data will be displayed in the Endpoint Test Result panel on the right, allowing you to verify that the source is configured correctly before saving.

Manual configuration​

Yahoo Finance Price data sources can also be manually configured to ingest data from any valid Yahoo Finance endpoint, including endpoints not covered by the pre-built templates, chained API calls, or custom request parameters. Select the Advanced tab at the top of the configuration screen, and follow the instructions in Connect to Any API to configure the API method, endpoint URL, date/time and lookup macros, path to data, metadata, and request headers.

Once all of the relevant settings have been configured, click the Create button in the upper right corner of the screen to save and create the new Yahoo Finance Price data source. Nexla will now begin ingesting data from the configured endpoint and will organize any data that it finds into one or more Nexsets.
