Single stock

                Stock stock = YahooFinance.get("INTC");

                BigDecimal price = stock.getQuote().getPrice();
                BigDecimal change = stock.getQuote().getChangeInPercent();
                BigDecimal peg = stock.getStats().getPeg();
                BigDecimal dividend = stock.getDividend().getAnnualYieldPercent();

                stock.print();
            
Output
                INTC
                --------------------------------
                symbol: INTC
                name: Intel Corporation
                currency: USD
                stockExchange: NasdaqNM
                quote: Ask: 32.25, Bid: 32.24, Price: 32.2485, Prev close: 33.62
                stats: EPS: 2.019, PE: 16.65, PEG: 1.74
                dividend: Pay date: Mon Dec 01 06:00:00 CET 2014, Ex date: Tue Aug 05 06:00:00 CEST 2014, Annual yield: 2.68%
                history: null
                --------------------------------
            

Single stock - easy refresh

                Stock stock = YahooFinance.get("INTC");
                double price = stock.getQuote(true).getPrice();
            

This will also automatically refresh the statistics and dividend data of the stock in a single request to Yahoo Finance. Please be aware that it wouldn't be a good idea to call the getQuote(true), getStats(true) or getDividend(true) too much in a short timespan as this will cost too much delay without providing any added value. There's no problem to call the versions of those methods without argument or with the argument set to false.

Multiple stocks at once

                String[] symbols = new String[] {"INTC", "BABA", "TSLA", "AIR.PA", "YHOO"};
                Map<String, Stock> stocks = YahooFinance.get(symbols); // single request
                Stock intel = stocks.get("INTC");
                Stock airbus = stocks.get("AIR.PA");
            

FX quote

                FxQuote usdeur = YahooFinance.getFx(FxSymbols.USDEUR);
                FxQuote usdgbp = YahooFinance.getFx("USDGBP=X");
                System.out.println(usdeur);
                System.out.println(usdgbp);
            
Output
                USDEUR=X: 0.7842
                USDGBP=X: 0.6253
            

Single stock - include historical quotes

                Stock tesla = YahooFinance.get("TSLA", true);
                System.out.println(tesla.getHistory());
            
Output
                [Symbol@Date: low-high, open->close (adjusted close), ... ]
                [TSLA@2014-10-01: 217.32-265.54, 242.2->229.7 (229.7), TSLA@2014-09-02: 240.12-291.42, 275.5->242.68 (242.68), ...]
            

It is also possible to define the start date, end date and interval of the historical data.

                Calendar from = Calendar.getInstance();
                Calendar to = Calendar.getInstance();
                from.add(Calendar.YEAR, -5); // from 5 years ago

                Stock google = YahooFinance.get("GOOG", from, to, Interval.WEEKLY);
            

Multiple stocks - include historical quotes

                String[] symbols = new String[] {"INTC", "BABA", "TSLA", "AIR.PA", "YHOO"};
                // Can also be done with explicit from, to and Interval parameters
                Map<String, Stock> stocks = YahooFinance.get(symbols, true);
                Stock intel = stocks.get("INTC");
                Stock airbus = stocks.get("AIR.PA");
            

Alternatives for historical quotes

If the historical quotes are not yet available, the getHistory() method will automatically send a new request to Yahoo Finance.

                Stock google = YahooFinance.get("GOOG");
                List<HistoricalQuote> googleHistQuotes = google.getHistory();
            

Or you could explicitly define the from, to and Interval parameters to force a new request. Check the javadoc for more variations on the getHistory method.

                Calendar from = Calendar.getInstance();
                Calendar to = Calendar.getInstance();
                from.add(Calendar.YEAR, -1); // from 1 year ago

                Stock google = YahooFinance.get("GOOG");
                List<HistoricalQuote> googleHistQuotes = google.getHistory(from, to, Interval.DAILY);
                // googleHistQuotes is the same as google.getHistory() at this point
                // provide some parameters to the getHistory method to send a new request to Yahoo Finance
