Caching

Persistent Cache

To reduce Yahoo, yfinance store some data locally: timezones to localize dates, and cookie. Cache location is:

• Windows = C:/Users/<USER>/AppData/Local/py-yfinance
• Linux = /home/<USER>/.cache/py-yfinance
• MacOS = /Users/<USER>/Library/Caches/py-yfinance

You can direct cache to use a different location with :attr:set_tz_cache_location <yfinance.set_tz_cache_location>:

.. code-block:: python

import yfinance as yf
yf.set_tz_cache_location("custom/cache/location")
