Since Yahoo Finance is no longer supported, anyone know of a why to retrieve stock prices?

Google Finance in google sheets does the job.

I donā€™t see a Google Finance or Google Sheets component within HA

4

There are products that will read google sheets into databases on other platforms. I am currently only familiar with using a Windows based one but I am sure there will be one for pi. Need some techie to integrate that with HA I guess.

Thanks but I was hoping there was a HA componentā€¦

What are you trying to do? I canā€™t visualise a link between home automation and the state of the stock market except perhaps to turn the lights off if it crashes !

7

I have a tablet which I use as a consoleā€¦ it shows the weather, the DJ and a few stocks and key lights/switches in the house. I also had a rule that generate an alert when one of the stocks went outside of a range

Iā€™ve been using Alpha Vantage which has been working alright. It only displays the current price of the stock and not the change. Since its a sensor you can create a graph from it which helps show how much the stock changed that day. It doesnā€™t support indexes like Dow Jones though - at least from what I can tell

I am not sure why Yahoo Finance stopped being supported; the API ends points are still active.

I had written a component from scratch using the current end point -

Does this still work for you? I just tried it but Iā€™m getting ā€œPlatform error sensor.yahoofinance - Integration ā€˜yahoofinanceā€™ not found.ā€

There is no official yahoo finance component. If you are using mine, then you would need to copy the component to the custom location.

12

The syntax is missing a ā€œ-ā€

sensor:
  - platform: yahoofinance
    show_trending_icon: true
    scan_interval:
      hours: 4
    symbols:
      - ISTNX

Works great in HACS for install just fix that missing ā€œ-ā€ and all is good.

14

Thanks, I have updated the documentation.

15

This is great. Iā€™ve been using the Alpha Vantage integration for months which only seems to update once every two days or so.

Canā€™t you put this integration forward to be put into the official built-in ones? Or at least get it added to HACS?

16

What card do you use to display the data? Ideally, it would be a graph in green or red, depending on the trend

17

The end point is not well documented/exposed, so I am hesitant of putting it into the official one. But this should be in HACS.

18

@kennelm I just list them as entities using auto-entities which can feed off a group.

19

I just realized that I didnā€™t have history turned on in my config. I fixed that. Now, I am experimenting with the history graph card to see how that will plot the Dow (^DJI) and S&P (^GSPC) indexes.

20

I am trying to make a template to show the attributes, but i am really not finding any info on how to do this.

{{states(ā€˜yahoofinance.djiā€™)}}

{{state_attr(ā€˜yahoofinance.djiā€™ ,ā€˜RegularMarketChangeā€™ )}}
