Installation
============
.. code:: bash
pip install finviz
Or install the latest development version:
.. code:: bash
pip install git+https://github.com/mariostoev/finviz@v2-development
What is Finviz?
===============
FinViz_ aims to make market information accessible and provides a lot of data in visual snapshots, allowing traders and investors to quickly find the stock, future or forex pair they are looking for. The site provides advanced screeners, market maps, analysis, comparative tools, and charts.
.. _FinViz: https://finviz.com
**Important Information**
Any quotes data displayed on finviz.com is delayed by 15 minutes for NASDAQ, and 20 minutes for NYSE and AMEX. This API should **NOT** be used for live trading, it's main purpose is financial analysis, research, and data scraping.
Quick Start
===========
.. code:: python
import finviz
# Get stock data
stock = finviz.get_stock('AAPL')
print(stock['Price'], stock['P/E'], stock['Market Cap'])
# Get news
news = finviz.get_news('AAPL')
for timestamp, headline, url, source in news[:5]:
print(f"{timestamp} - {headline} ({source})")
# Get insider transactions
insiders = finviz.get_insider('AAPL')
for trade in insiders[:3]:
print(trade['Insider Trading'], trade['Transaction'], trade['Value ($)'])
# Get analyst price targets
targets = finviz.get_analyst_price_targets('AAPL')
for target in targets:
print(target['analyst'], target['rating'], target.get('target_to'))
Using Screener
==============
The Screener allows you to filter stocks based on various criteria. You can either build filters programmatically or copy them from the FinViz website URL.
.. code:: python
from finviz.screener import Screener
# Screen for large-cap NASDAQ stocks in the S&P 500
filters = ['exch_nasd', 'idx_sp500', 'cap_largeover']
stock_list = Screener(filters=filters, table='Overview', order='price')
print(f"Found {len(stock_list)} stocks")
for stock in stock_list[:10]:
print(stock['Ticker'], stock['Company'], stock['Market Cap'])
# Export to CSV
stock_list.to_csv("stocks.csv")
# Export to SQLite
stock_list.to_sqlite("stocks.sqlite3")
# Export to pandas DataFrame (requires pandas)
df = stock_list.to_dataframe()
**Available Tables:**
- ``Overview`` - Basic company info, market cap, price
- ``Valuation`` - P/E, P/S, P/B, PEG ratios
- ``Financial`` - ROA, ROE, ROI, margins
- ``Ownership`` - Insider/institutional ownership, short interest
- ``Performance`` - Price performance across timeframes
- ``Technical`` - RSI, SMA, volatility, beta
**Initialize from URL:**
.. code:: python
# Copy filters directly from FinViz website URL
url = "https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=cap_largeover,exch_nasd&o=-marketcap"
stock_list = Screener.init_from_url(url)
**Get Available Filters:**
.. code:: python
# Get all available filter options
filters = Screener.load_filter_dict()
print(filters.keys()) # ['Exchange', 'Index', 'Sector', 'Industry', ...]
Individual Stock Functions
==========================
.. code:: python
import finviz
# Comprehensive stock data (90+ metrics)
stock = finviz.get_stock('AAPL')
# Returns: {'Ticker': 'AAPL', 'Company': 'Apple Inc', 'Sector': 'Technology',
# 'P/E': '34.26', 'Market Cap': '3755.76B', 'Price': '255.53', ...}
# Recent news with timestamps
news = finviz.get_news('AAPL')
# Returns: [('2024-01-15 12:00', 'Headline...', 'https://...', 'MarketWatch'), ...]
# Insider trading activity
insiders = finviz.get_insider('AAPL')
# Returns: [{'Insider Trading': 'COOK TIMOTHY D', 'Relationship': 'CEO',
# 'Transaction': 'Sale', 'Value ($)': '41,530,891', ...}, ...]
# Analyst ratings and price targets
targets = finviz.get_analyst_price_targets('AAPL', last_ratings=10)
# Returns: [{'date': '2024-01-09', 'analyst': 'Morgan Stanley',
# 'rating': 'Overweight', 'target_from': 200, 'target_to': 220}, ...]
# All market news (not ticker-specific)
all_news = finviz.get_all_news()
Using Portfolio
===============
.. code:: python
from finviz.portfolio import Portfolio
portfolio = Portfolio('<email>', '<password>', '<portfolio-name>')
print(portfolio)
# Create portfolio from CSV
portfolio.create_portfolio('My Portfolio', 'positions.csv')
CSV format for portfolio import:
.. list-table::
:header-rows: 1
* - Ticker
- Transaction
- Date (Opt.)
- Shares
- Price (Opt.)
* - AAPL
- 1
- 05-25-2024
- 34
- 185.50
* - NVDA
- 1
-
- 100
-
*Transaction: 1 = Buy, 2 = Sell. Empty optional fields use today's data.*
Downloading Charts
==================
.. code:: python
stock_list.get_charts(period='d', chart_type='c', size='l', ta='1')
# period: 'd' (daily), 'w' (weekly), 'm' (monthly)
# chart_type: 'c' (candle), 'l' (line)
# size: 's' (small), 'l' (large)
# ta: '1' (show technical analysis), '0' (hide)
Configuration
=============
**Environment Variables:**
- ``DISABLE_TQDM=1`` - Disable progress bars
**Async Support:**
The Screener supports async requests for faster data fetching:
.. code:: python
stock_list = Screener(filters=filters, request_method="async")
Development
===========
.. code:: bash
# Clone and install in development mode
git clone https://github.com/mariostoev/finviz
cd finviz
pip install -e ".[dev]"
# Run tests
pytest finviz/tests/ -v
# Run tests (skip slow ones)
pytest finviz/tests/ -v -m "not slow"
*You can also buy me a coffee!*
