Yahoo and Google both used to offer APIs for financial data, and matplotlib (later moved into a separate module, mpl_finance) used to have a Python wrapper around Yahoo's API; but Yahoo shut their financial API down in mid-2017 and Google followed suit soon after. See: http://www.financial-hacker.com/bye-yahoo-and-thank-you-for-the-fish/ The comments include links to a lot of possible alternatives. Most of them require API keys and some charge a fee. You should probably try several to find out which works best for you, and expect to update your code every year or two as financial quote services seem to come and go. ...Akkana -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
