## What it is
The official Python client library for the Finnhub API, which provides institutional-grade financial data including real-time stock prices, company fundamentals, ETF holdings, and alternative data. It wraps Finnhub REST endpoints in a simple Python client with methods for quotes, candles, financials, news, earnings, crypto, forex, and economic data.

## Use cases
- fetch real-time stock quotes and price candles in python
- get company fundamentals and financial statements for tickers
- pull earnings estimates and analyst recommendation trends
- download company news and news sentiment data
- query crypto and forex exchange symbols
- build a stock analysis or trading script with market data
- convert stock candle responses into pandas dataframes

## When to choose
- you want programmatic access to Finnhub financial data from Python
- you need a maintained official SDK covering stocks, crypto, forex, and economic endpoints
- you are prototyping fintech or investment analysis tools with pandas
