Fetch Financial Data

Import stocks, ETFs, indices and other financial assets from Yahoo Finance into a pipeline by ticker.

Yahoo Finance covers hundreds of thousands of financial assets — stocks, bonds, ETFs and indices — all reachable from an Alphacast pipeline.

1. Create a pipeline

   Click Create new pipeline in the top right corner, choose the repository and a name, then click Create.

   
2. Add the Fetch Financial Data step

   
3. Enter tickers and a period

   Add as many tickers as you want, separated by commas — for example NQ=F, AAPL, MSFT — and choose the lookback period.

   
4. Save

   Press Save to keep your changes in the step.

The output includes open, close, high, low, volume, dividends and stock split data for every ticker.

Finding tickers

A Yahoo Finance ticker is a short combination of letters and numbers identifying a company and its share class — AAPL for Apple Inc., MSFT for Microsoft Corporation. Look up the code on the official Yahoo Finance page for the asset.

Alphacast can resolve tickers for you. The MCP server exposes ticker search and ISIN lookup tools — see Tickers.
