Industry screening methods? #29

Closed emalcolmb closed 4 years ago

Does this unofficial API contain any methods that allow for screening stocks by industry? If not that would be great.

mariostoev commented 4 years ago

Yes it does.

Go to https://finviz.com/screener.ashx and select the industry from the filters above. Notice how the URL changes - if you choose Appliances under industry the URL becomes https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?v=111&f=ind_appliances so in this case the filter for the industry is ind_appliances.

appliances_industry = Screener(filters=['ind_appliances'])

And that's how you use the API to screen for specific industries.
