Is it possible to to create an auto complete feature using JS using the yfinance library?

I am creating a Flask web application for fun and learning, and I would like to see if I can create a search.html that on input of string will auto complete the ticker symbol and show it as a dropdown list.

I think that the most straightforward way of doing so is to have a variable with all tickers for a specific exchange e.g. NYSE.

Is it possible to extract the tickers for a specific exchange using yfinance?

Solution

  • It is not possible to extract all the symbols from a stock exchange using yfinance. There are some threads about it, and a few libraries, check this link:
