Yahoo finance API and excel vba

To interact with Yahoo Finance API using Excel VBA, you can use VBA's built-in functions for HTTP requests and JSON parsing. Here's a basic example of how to retrieve data from Yahoo Finance API and parse the JSON response using Excel VBA:

First, you need to enable the "Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version 5.1" library in your VBA editor. To do this, go to "Tools" > "References" and check the box next to "Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version 5.1".

Next, you can use the following VBA code to make a GET request to Yahoo Finance API and parse the JSON response:

Sub GetYahooFinanceData() Dim HttpReq As Object Dim Json As Object Dim i As Integer ' Create a new HTTP request object Set HttpReq = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") ' Specify the URL of Yahoo Finance API HttpReq.Open "GET", "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?symbols=MSFT,AAPL,GOOGL", False ' Send the HTTP request HttpReq.Send ' Parse the JSON response Set Json = JsonConverter.ParseJson(HttpReq.ResponseText) ' Loop through the JSON object and output data to Excel For i = 1 To Json("quoteResponse")("result").Count Cells(i, 1).Value = Json("quoteResponse")("result")(i)("symbol") Cells(i, 2).Value = Json("quoteResponse")("result")(i)("regularMarketPrice") ' Add more fields as needed Next i ' Clean up Set HttpReq = Nothing Set Json = Nothing End Sub

Before running this code, you need to add the "VBA-JSON" library to your Excel workbook. You can find the library on GitHub and import it into your VBA editor.

This code sends a GET request to Yahoo Finance API to retrieve stock data for Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL), and Google (GOOGL). It then parses the JSON response and outputs the symbol and regular market price to the Excel worksheet.

You can customize the API endpoint and fields to retrieve additional data or for different stocks as needed. Make sure to adjust the JSON parsing logic accordingly based on the structure of the API response.
