## What it is
FinNLP is a Python library for collecting internet-scale financial data from sources like Finnhub, Yahoo Finance, Reuters, and Sina Finance. It also provides pipelines for training and fine-tuning large language models for finance NLP tasks.

## Use cases
- download financial news headlines and articles by date range
- scrape stock-related news for sentiment analysis
- gather internet-scale financial data for LLM training
- fine-tune large language models on finance text
- collect Chinese and US financial news into dataframes
- build datasets for financial NLP research

## When to choose
- you need programmatic access to multiple financial news sources in Python
- you are building financial sentiment analysis or LLM fine-tuning pipelines
- you want a free, open-source alternative for financial data collection

## When to avoid
- you need real-time market data feeds or tick-level pricing
- you require guaranteed data reliability - sources rely on scraping and free API tiers
- you need a production-grade data vendor with licensing guarantees
