Does Python has a similar library like quantmod in R that can download financial statement data?

Does Python has a similar library like quantmod in R that can download financial statement data? I want to download the historical revenue of each stock in Python. Can someone give me a hint? Thanks.

Solution

  • Yes a lot of them, zipline, pandas and even matplotlib can download data from Yahoo Finance. I recommend you use pandas:

    >>> from pandas_datareader.data import DataReader
>>> from datetime import datetime

>>> goog = DataReader("GOOG",  "yahoo", datetime(2000,1,1), datetime(2012,1,1))
>>> goog["Adj Close"]
