This go package aims to provide a go application with access to current and historical financial markets data in streamlined, well-formatted structures.
Check out the qtrn cli application, which is intended as a living example of this package. It prints quotes/options info in your favorite command-line in a few keystrokes!

A neatly formatted detailed list of implementation instructions and examples will be available on the piquette website.
For now, for details on all the functionality in this library, see the GoDoc documentation.
This project supports modules and Go 1.13+. Add finance-go
to your own project the usual way -
go get github.com/piquette/finance-go
Library usage is meant to be very specific about the user's intentions.
q, err := quote.Get("AAPL")
if err != nil {
// Uh-oh.
panic(err)
}
// Success!
fmt.Println(q)
q, err := equity.Get("AAPL")
if err != nil {
// Uh-oh.
panic(err)
}
// Success!
fmt.Println(q)
params := &chart.Params{
Symbol: "TWTR",
Interval: datetime.OneHour,
}
iter := chart.Get(params)
for iter.Next() {
fmt.Println(iter.Bar())
}
if err := iter.Err(); err != nil {
fmt.Println(err)
}
Pull requests from the community are welcome. If you submit one, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
- All types, structs and funcs should be documented.
- Ensure that
make test
succeeds.
The test suite needs testify's require
package to run:
github.com/stretchr/testify/require
It also depends on a running instance of a test server finance-mock, so make sure to fetch that project and run the application from another terminal session (finance-mock's README contains more information).
docker run -p 12111:12111 piquette/finance-mock:latest
brew tap piquette/finance-mock
brew install finance-mock
finance-mock
go get -u github.com/piquette/finance-mock
finance-mock
Run all tests:
go test ./...
Run tests for one package:
go test ./equity
Run a single test:
go test ./equity -run TestGet
For any requests, bug or comments, please open an issue or submit a pull request. Also please email or tweet me as needed.
- Yahoo changes their finance APIs without warning, which is their right to do so. However, its annoying and leads to some instability in this project..
- Big shoutout to Stripe and the team working on the stripe-go project, I took a lot of library design / implementation hints from them.
