investpy is a Python package for retrieving recent and historical financial data from Investing.com, covering stocks, funds, ETFs, indices, currency crosses, bonds, commodities, and cryptocurrencies worldwide. It is currently broken due to Investing.com API changes, and the author recommends using the successor library investiny instead.

Use cases

  • download historical stock prices from investing.com
  • get cryptocurrency historical data in python
  • retrieve ETF and fund data without a paid API
  • fetch currency cross exchange rates
  • scrape financial market data for backtesting
  • get index and commodity price history

When to choose

  • you need free, unlimited financial data from Investing.com and the site's API still works for your endpoints
  • you want broad asset coverage including funds, bonds, and certificates in one package

When to avoid

  • you need a currently working solution - the README states investpy is broken and recommends investiny
  • you need guaranteed uptime or official API support for production trading systems
