yahoo_fin 0.8.6

yahoo_fin, a package for scraping stock prices and financial data, was recently updated to version 0.8.6. The latest version has several new features, including the following:

Users can now pull quarterly fundamentals data (in addition to yearly). This includes balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements.

Earnings data can be extracted with the new get_earnings method.

If you’re looking to get multiple pieces of fundamentals data for the same stock – i.e. cash flows, income statements, and balance sheets, then make sure to check out a new method called get_financials. This method allows you to easily pull data points from each of these sources in a single request.

New methods were added to retrieve historical dividend payouts and splits information.

A bug in the ticker extraction methods causing a subset of tickers to be excluded was fixed.
