pyfinance dividends and documentation

Question

I'm trying to use pyfinance to pull data, I have run into issues with the dividends. Below is the code, the error I et is:

    import yfinance as yf

print('Enter Ticker:')
symbol = input()
symbol = yf.Ticker(symbol)
print('Forward PE:')
print(symbol.info['forwardPE'])
print('Dividends:')

info = yf.Ticker(symbol).info
div = info.get('trailingAnnualDividendYield')
print(div)

Does anyone have documentation for pyfinance? What I have been able to find is slim, how can I view the modules/classes/etc

Error from python interpreter:

    Enter Ticker:
c
Forward PE:
8.224477
Dividends:
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/user/Desktop/test.py", line 10, in <module>
    info = yf.Ticker(symbol).info
  File "/home/user/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/yfinance/base.py", line 49, in __init__
    self.ticker = ticker.upper()
AttributeError: 'Ticker' object has no attribute 'upper'

Answer 1

You assign symbol = yf.Ticker(symbol), so symbol is yfinance.Ticker object now, not a string. And then you call yf.Ticker(symbol).info (which is not needed) that leads to an error. Don't save on variables names.

import yfinance as yf

print('Enter Ticker:')
symbol = input()
s = yf.Ticker(symbol)
print('Forward PE:')
print(s.info['forwardPE'])
print('Dividends:')

div = s.info.get('trailingAnnualDividendYield')
print(div)

And the results:

Enter Ticker:
ibm
Forward PE:
12.553453
Dividends:
0.049131215

Answer 2

This fixed it:

import yfinance as yf

print('Enter Ticker:')
x = input()
symbol = x
symbol = yf.Ticker(symbol)
info = yf.Ticker(x).info
div = info.get('trailingAnnualDividendYield')

print('Forward PE:')
print(symbol.info['forwardPE'])
print('Dividend:')
print(div)
