Bruno Collection for Yahoo Finance

This repository contains a Bruno collection for interacting with Yahoo Finance's public API endpoints. Although Yahoo Finance discontinued their official API documentation in 2017, these endpoints remain publicly accessible and functional.

Prerequisites

• Install Bruno.
• Git (optional, for cloning this repository).

Setup

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/gzurowski/bruno-yahoo-finance.git

Alternatively, you can download the collection as a ZIP file.

2. Open the bruno-yahoo-finance folder in Bruno.
3. Click on Open Collection.
4. Navigate to the cloned repository folder and click Open.

Authentication

All Yahoo Finance endpoints require authentication using:

• A cookie.
• A token named crumb which must be included as a query parameter in every request. Both the cookie and the token are obtained through two separate requests. These requests are automatically run by a pre-request script on collection-level. Once retrieved, the cookie and the token are stored as variables and automatically included in all requests. The script is stored in scripts/auth.js. For reference, this repository also includes separate requests in the Auth folder. These are provided for informational purposes only and do not need to be manually run.

Notes

• The endpoints are not officially documented and are subject to change.
• Rate limiting may apply.
