## What it is
An unofficial Python library for scraping FinViz.com, providing stock data, news, insider transactions, analyst price targets, and a stock screener. It is intended for financial analysis and research, not live trading, since quotes are delayed.

## Use cases
- scrape stock fundamentals like price, P/E, and market cap from finviz
- screen stocks by exchange, index, and market cap filters
- get latest news headlines for a ticker
- fetch insider trading transactions for a stock
- retrieve analyst price targets and ratings
- export screener results to csv for analysis

## When to choose
- you need FinViz data in Python for research or analysis
- you want programmatic access to FinViz's stock screener
- delayed quotes are acceptable for your use case

## When to avoid
- you need real-time data for live trading
- you require an officially supported API with guaranteed uptime
- FinViz changes its site and the scraper breaks
