Live market data stream from the Yahoo Finance websocket
What it is
A Python tool that streams live market data from Yahoo Finance through its websocket. Price updates arrive as a stream, which suits real-time monitoring and applications that react to market moves. Developers and quant researchers building live dashboards or trading-related tools are the intended users. It relies on an unofficial data stream, so availability and message format can change without notice.
