Add Sector and Industry to get_stock_quote_type_data?

Open austin-stocks opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

I am really enjoying the package and it works as designed. This is a request for a feature - I would like to suggest that having a sector and industry for a stock would be a great addition to the method - say get_stock_quote_type_data?

Thanks! I will be happy to look into adding this feature. My goal is to have a new version addressing the current issues out by the middle of September at the latest.

Hi @JECSand, would it be alright if I submitted a PR for this issue? I was trying to build something similar and implemented this feature for my own use before finding this package. It should be simple for me to copy over the functionality.

I second that idea. This is really a great package, but the Profile and Holders pages contain important information that I can't find in existing methods, it'd be great if the data is added in existing or new methods. Keep up the good work and I'm looking forward to the next release!

Yes - I agree with rsandx idea of having some way of getting the Profile, number of employess, Key Executives (the whole table). That would be super - as I look at the salary of key executive and how many key executives are leaving the company etc, is the #of employee increasing or decreasing. Thanks for all the work that you do.

I just wanted to check up on this. I have been using YF and it's been functioning well. I have recently tried implementing get_profile_summary(), which returned AttributeError: 'YahooFinancials' object has no attribute 'get_profile_data' Directly implementing get_stock_tech_data('summaryProfile') returns {'ticker' : None}. I would like to automatically pull which sector each stock belongs to. Any other tips for this issue? Thank you!
