While I would confirm if the Python source is grabbing the normal
webpage or the API calls we use(d) in F::Q, this did give me the idea
to search CPAN. I found the module Yahoo::Finance which may also be a
good start and possibly does the heavy lifting already.
Colin,
The Yahoo::Finance Perl module is based on the
https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v7/... URL. So it's currently broken.
Looking at the source for the yfinance Python library, it uses a couple
different Yahoo URLs including at least one instance of a
https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v10/... URL.
Which means that if Yahoo blocks access to the v10 and v11 URLs, both
Finance::Quote::YahooJSON and yfinance will break.
It was worth a look though.
As I said, extracting the data from the HTML returned from
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL?p=AAPL&.tsrc=fin-srch is doable.
Just not as simple as parsing JSON. I recently created the
Finance::Quote::BVB module to replace a broken module of a different
name for Romanian stocks. It is a web scrape of the HTML.
Thanks.
Bruce S.
