Need to pull earnings dates, analyst targets and recommendations into your tools and trackers? Callers are already using Tigzig's free YFIN API to pull data from Python and other scripts, Power Query, Google Apps Script, Excel WEBSERVICE formulas and AI agents like ChatGPT and Claude. The API supports a range of items from Yahoo Finance, including quarterlies, prices, market data and a detailed info call covering 150+ data points. Most endpoints return plain CSV if you add format=csv to the URL. Point your AI agent at the docs and have it set up your Power Query, Apps Script or formula. Also available as an MCP server. If you prefer Python in Excel, here is a tracker template I built with xlwings Lite to get you started. It pulls the calendar and prices. Your AI can adapt it to your needs: [tigzig.com/post/sp500-excel-tracker-xlwings-yfin-aug2026](https://www.tigzig.com/post/sp500-excel-tracker-xlwings-yfin-aug2026) API docs: [tigzig.com/apis/yahoo-finance](https://www.tigzig.com/apis/yahoo-finance) ## Useful links for using the API - Demystifying TIGZIG API Errors: 21 common slips from the logs, from a trailing dot on a URL to market suffixes on tickers, plus 429s and timeouts in large batches, and what each one means: [tigzig.com/post/tigzig-api-errors-practical-guide-jul2026](https://www.tigzig.com/post/tigzig-api-errors-practical-guide-jul2026) - Tigzig APIs Tell You What Went Wrong: many errors carry a hint in the response body, and code that reads only the status code never sees it.
