How to Integrate Yahoo Finance with Python TKinter

TKinter is already installed with Python, but we need to install Yahoo Finance API.

pip install yfinance

1	pip install yfinance

This is the complete code for this article

import tkinter as tk
import yfinance as yf

root = tk.Tk()
root.title("Stock Price - Geekscoders.com")

label = tk.Label(root, font=("Arial", 20))
label.pack(pady=20)

def get_stock_price():
    stock = yf.Ticker("AAPL")
    stock_price = stock.info["regularMarketPrice"]
    label.config(text=f"Apple Inc. Stock Price: {stock_price}")
    root.after(5000, get_stock_price)

get_stock_price()

root.mainloop()

import tkinter as tk

import yfinance as yf

root = tk.Tk()

root.title("Stock Price - Geekscoders.com")

label = tk.Label(root, font=("Arial", 20))

label.pack(pady=20)

def get_stock_price():

stock = yf.Ticker("AAPL")

stock_price = stock.info["regularMarketPrice"]

label.config(text=f"Apple Inc. Stock Price: {stock_price}")

root.after(5000, get_stock_price)

get_stock_price()

root.mainloop()

This code creates Tkinter window with label to display the stock price. after that we have defined a function get_stock_price() that retrieves the stock price using yf.Ticker() method from yfinance library and updates the label with new price. this function is scheduled to run every 5 seconds using root.after() method. and lastly the function is called to start retrieving and displaying the stock price.

Note that in this example, we are using yf.Ticker() method to retrieve the stock price for Apple Inc. (AAPL). you can change this to any other stock symbol to retrieve prices for different stock.

Run the complete code and this will be the result
