How do I retrieve price data of stock exchanges in Python?

Question

I can retrieve an individual stock's price data as follows:

import yfinance as yf

stockPrice = yf.Ticker("AAPL").history(period="max")["Close"] #by the way, ["Close"] is not strictly required.

Is there a way to retrieve the historical compounded price data of a stock exchange as a whole (e.g. AEX, IBEX, DAX, etc.)?

Any help is appreciated!

Answer 1

How about this? Just pass multiple ticker symbols to download.

import yfinance as yf

data = yf.download("AEX IBEX DAX AAPL", periods="max")['Close']
data.tail()

Output:

    AAPL    AEX DAX IBEX
Date

2022-03-22  168.820007  NaN 28.629999   15.85

2022-03-24  174.070007  NaN 28.207001   16.18
