PRISM (Second-Brain)
wiki/entities/yfinance.md
yfinance
Overview
yfinance pulls public financial data from Yahoo Finance: revenue trend, margins, and analyst consensus for any company with a ticker. Public data, no paid key.
How PRISM uses it
PRISM uses yfinance as its public-financials muscle for public companies (the collect-financials.py
path). Private companies use an estimate waterfall instead. Part of the right-tool-for-each-job
doctrine. Note: it is the yfinance library reading public Yahoo data, not a Yahoo MCP.
