Yahoo- Web Scraping for Stock Prices

[rrafferty2]

Is there a way to extract or retrieve historical stock prices and dividends from Yahoo for the S&P, and of course, Alteryx share prices.  I looked in community and saw lots of discussion, but nothing that directly solves a direct pull or web scrape.

I have found that stock prices and financial data are a rich source of sample data for exploring Alteryx workflows.

Thanks

Hi, I tried to run the workflow but faced the following error. Any solution for this?

@SaadSaleem , you have to install the yfinance python package. Open up an instance of Alteryx in admin mode and drop a python tool onto the canvas, then run the following in python:

# List all non-standard packages to be imported by your 
# script here (only missing packages will be installed)
from ayx import Package
Package.installPackages(['yfinance'])

then you can close that instance of alteryx and run the existing workflow as normal.
