This course is a hands-on guide to the YH Finance API in Python. Get started with the API’s various endpoints. Learn more about the general API spec and how to set up an account to generate an API key on the YH Finance platform. Find out more on how to query historical and real-time data for stocks, ETFs, and similar securities. With direct access to market data, you’ll integrate the API endpoints into a finance application written in Django, a Python framework.

You'll gain a basic understanding of working with YH Finance data in this course. You’ll finish with reflection and resources to leverage the YH Finance API further.

Getting Financial Data Using YH Finance API in Python

The YH API provides us an endpoint that can give us the information we can use to create charts to give the traders a better insight. The base URL of this endpoint is `https://yfapi.net/v8/finance/chart/{ticker}`. The `{ticker}` parameter at the end of the endpoint will be replaced with the ticker of the security we want to search for when making an API call. For example, if we want to get chart data for Apple Inc., our endpoint will be `yfapi.net/v8/finance/chart/AAPL`.

Understand how to obtain securities' indexes in the form of lists to be used in charts.
