I would like to get key statistics data for a given symbol in Yahoo! Finance.
I found a few ways to get statistics data using Yahoo Finance API. For example, to get Apple’s name (n), ask (a), bid (b), market cap(j1), http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=AAPL&f=nabj1 (e.g. http://www.jarloo.com/yahoo_finance/)
But I would like to extract more information such as return on equity and enterprise value. How can I do this? I cannot even fetch these values from web scraping either.
Key statistics can be accessed by calling the following API-Call:
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=defaultKeyStatistics
This includes enterprise value and book value. I have not found a way to get return on equity directly from Yahoo Finance but it could be calculated from other values found in this answer.
Edit:
Return on equity can be found in the financial data:
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v10/finance/quoteSummary/AAPL?modules=financialData
