Recommendations Trend Summary

[DavidSutherland2]

Hi,
Great bit of kit, I used to scrape from yahoo into excel using VBA, but since last month Yahoo have encrypted it, and thats when I found yfinance. Time to move my project to the trusty pi!

In my old vba code I used to grab the values from the recommendations summary chart (strong buy, buy, hold, sell, strong sell) that updates monthly, is there functionality to do this in yfinance? I'm assuming it's a summary of the upgrades and downgrades but I can't make them tally when I try to do a similar summary?
Thanks,
David

Same problem here. In the current version, it seems the "recommendation" method is not coded yet.

Has Yahoo Finance this data? Can you provide page url?

Please see the stacked bar chart "Analyst Recommendations" under the "Research Analysis" section in the "Analysis" page:
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/analysis?p=AAPL

Similarly, the "Upgrades & Downgrades" table at the same location is very informative.

Yes. Thank you. I found it.
It's module recommendationTrend from /v10/finance/quoteSummary/ endpoint.
And returned data is:

[
{'period': '0m', 'strongBuy': 11, 'buy': 21, 'hold': 6, 'sell': 0, 'strongSell': 0}, 
{'period': '-1m', 'strongBuy': 11, 'buy': 18, 'hold': 12, 'sell': 1, 'strongSell': 0}, 
{'period': '-2m', 'strongBuy': 11, 'buy': 20, 'hold': 10, 'sell': 1, 'strongSell': 0}, 
{'period': '-3m', 'strongBuy': 10, 'buy': 24, 'hold': 7, 'sell': 1, 'strongSell': 0}
]

I will try to make pull request for it.
Do you prefer have this data as dataframe or as list of dicts?
