python - yfinance - isolating stock price

Question

G'day i was just curious how i could isolate the stock price using the yfinance module through python and then store that price as a variable, any help would be much appreciated.

import yfinance as yf

ticker = 'MSFT'
tickerData = yf.Ticker(ticker)

#get the historical prices for this ticker
tickerDf = tickerData.history(period='1d')

#see your data
tickerDf

This works but i end up with this and my various attempts to isolate and store the price (at close) has failed. output

thank you very much for any and all help

Answer 1

if you want to isolate both Date and Close columns in a separate dataframe 'close_df' you can use:

close_df=tickerDf[['Date','Close']]
close_df.set_index('Date')

and, if you want Close values in a list 'closed_values_list', use

closed_values_list= list(tickerDf['Close'])
