There is still a way to get this data by querying some APIs used by the finance.yahoo.com page. Not sure if Yahoo will be supporting it long term as the previous API was (hopefully they will).
I adapted the method used by https://github.com/pstadler/ticker.sh into the following python hack that takes a list of symbols from the command line and outputs some of the variables as a csv:
#!/usr/bin/env python
import sys
import time
import requests
if len(sys.argv) < 2:
print("missing parameters: <symbol> ...")
exit()
apiEndpoint = "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote"
fields = [
'symbol',
'regularMarketVolume',
'regularMarketPrice',
'regularMarketDayHigh',
'regularMarketDayLow',
'regularMarketTime',
'regularMarketChangePercent']
fields = ','.join(fields)
symbols = sys.argv[1:]
symbols = ','.join(symbols)
payload = {
'lang': 'en-US',
'region': 'US',
'corsDomain': 'finance.yahoo.com',
'fields': fields,
'symbols': symbols}
r = requests.get(apiEndpoint, params=payload)
for i in r.json()['quoteResponse']['result']:
if 'regularMarketPrice' in i:
a = []
a.append(i['symbol'])
a.append(i['regularMarketPrice'])
a.append(time.strftime(
'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(i['regularMarketTime'])))
a.append(i['regularMarketChangePercent'])
a.append(i['regularMarketVolume'])
a.append("{0:.2f} - {1:.2f}".format(
i['regularMarketDayLow'], i['regularMarketDayHigh']))
print(",".join([str(e) for e in a]))
Sample Run:
$ ./getquotePy.py AAPL GOOGL
