About this endpoint

GET /v1/yahoo-finance/instruments/{symbol}/profile returns data.assetProfile and data.summaryProfile. The asset profile carries address1, city, state, country, website, industry, sector, longBusinessSummary, fullTimeEmployees and companyOfficers. Each officer has name, title, age, yearBorn, fiscalYear, totalPay and exercisedValue when available.

The summary profile carries the sector, industry and business summary that many instrument kinds share. An instrument kind without a profile returns a null section, not an error. data.sources records which sections are available. Sector and industry values are keys such as Technology and Consumer Electronics, which pair with the sector and industry routes.

Yahoo Finance Profile API FAQ

What is the difference between assetProfile and summaryProfile?

assetProfile is the fuller company record with address, website, officers and employee count. summaryProfile is the shorter sector and industry summary. Either can be null for an instrument kind that has none.

Are officer names and pay included?

Yes, companyOfficers carries each listed officer's name, title, age, year born and reported pay fields when available. The names are from public filings.

What if a ticker has no profile?

data.lookupStatus is found but the profile section is null. That is a completed answer for an instrument without a company profile, not a transport failure.

How many credits does this route cost?

Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
