> *A lightweight* ***FastAPI*** microservice that wraps [yfinance](https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance), exposing **RESTful finance API** endpoints and a ready-to-run **yfinance Docker container** for production deployments. Ideal for **non-Python projects**, **microservice architectures**, and **monitorable deployments**.

## Why Use This?
- **Language-agnostic HTTP API**: Expose Yahoo Finance data to any platform without embedding Python.
- **Containerized deployment**: Ready Docker image and compose stack for Prometheus + Grafana.
- **Extendable FastAPI app**: Easy to add routes, middleware, or auth.
- **Caching & instrumentation**: Includes a TTL in-memory cache with async locks and Prometheus metrics.
- **Robust yfinance wrapper**: Calls are wrapped with timeouts, `lru_cache` ticker caching, and async-to-thread execution to reduce upstream variability.
- **Observability**: `/metrics` endpoint and sample Grafana dashboards for latency, cache, and error monitoring.

## Features

- Dashboards: `monitoring/grafana/dashboards/`

## Configuration

### Environment Variables

| Variable | Description | Default | Example |
|---|---|----|---|
| `LOG_LEVEL` | Logging level (CRITICAL/ERROR/WARNING/INFO/DEBUG/NOTSET) | `INFO` | `LOG_LEVEL=DEBUG` |
| `LOG_FORMAT` | Logging output format (`text` or `json`) | `text` | `LOG_FORMAT=json` |
| `MAX_BULK_CONCURRENCY` | Max concurrent requests for bulk quote endpoint | `10` | `MAX_BULK_CONCURRENCY=20` |
| `EARNINGS_CACHE_TTL` | Cache TTL for earnings data in seconds (0 = disable caching) | `3600` | `EARNINGS_CACHE_TTL=1800` |
| `EARNINGS_CACHE_MAXSIZE` | Max entries for earnings cache | `128` | `EARNINGS_CACHE_MAXSIZE=256` |
| `INFO_CACHE_TTL` | Cache TTL for company info (seconds) | `300` | `INFO_CACHE_TTL=300` |
| `INFO_CACHE_MAXSIZE` | Max entries for info cache | `256` | `INFO_CACHE_MAXSIZE=512` |
| `CORS_ENABLED` | Enable CORS | `False` | `CORS_ENABLED=True` |
| `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS` | Allowed origins (comma-separated list) | `*` (Any) | `CORS_ALLOWED_ORIGINS="https://example.org,https://www.example.org"` |
| `SPLITS_CACHE_TTL` |Time-to-live (in seconds) for the stock splits cache| `3600` | `SPLITS_CACHE_TTL=1800` |
| `API_KEY_ENABLED` | Enable API key authentication | `False` | `API_KEY_ENABLED=True` |
| `API_KEY` | API key for authentication (required if enabled) | `""` | `API_KEY=your-secret-key-here` |
| `API_KEY_UNPROTECTED_ENDPOINTS` | First path segments that bypass API key auth | `health,ready,metrics,docs,redoc,openapi.json` | `API_KEY_UNPROTECTED_ENDPOINTS="health,metrics"` |

### API Key Authentication

Optionally protect endpoints with API key authentication:

```bash
# Enable authentication
API_KEY_ENABLED=true
API_KEY=your-secret-key-here
```

**Usage:**
```bash
# Include API key in X-API-Key header
curl -H "X-API-Key: your-secret-key-here" http://localhost:8000/quote/AAPL
```
**Protected endpoints by default:**
- all application endpoints except the unprotected list below
- this includes `/quote/*`, `/historical/*`, `/info/*`, `/snapshot/*`, `/earnings/*`, `/news/*`, and `/splits/*`

**Unprotected endpoints:**
- `/health`, `/ready` - Health checks
- `/metrics` - Prometheus metrics
- `/docs`, `/redoc`, `/openapi.json` - API documentation routes

`API_KEY_UNPROTECTED_ENDPOINTS` matches the first request path segment without a
leading slash. Examples:
- `/quote/AAPL` -> `quote`
- `/docs` -> `docs`
- `/openapi.json` -> `openapi.json`
- `/` -> `root`

### Logging

The service supports plain text logs by default and structured JSON logs for
machine-readable ingestion.

```bash
# Human-readable logs
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
LOG_FORMAT=text

# Structured logs for log pipelines
LOG_LEVEL=INFO
LOG_FORMAT=json
```

Request traffic receives an `X-Correlation-ID` value. If the client sends one,
the service reuses it; otherwise it generates one and returns it in the
response header. Request, response, and error logs include the correlation ID
to make cross-service tracing easier.

### Examples

Running natively (example)
```bash
# Increase bulk quote concurrency to 20
MAX_BULK_CONCURRENCY=20 poetry run uvicorn app.main:app

# Disable earnings caching
EARNINGS_CACHE_TTL=0 poetry run uvicorn app.main:app

# Reduce earnings cache to 30 minutes
EARNINGS_CACHE_TTL=1800 poetry run uvicorn app.main:app

# Enable API key authentication
API_KEY_ENABLED=true API_KEY=my-secret-key poetry run uvicorn app.main:app
```

Docker compose (example)
```yaml
services:
  yfinance-service:
    build: .
    image: ghcr.io/vorckea/yfinance-service:latest
    env_file: .env       # local use only; do not commit secrets to repo
    environment:
      - LOG_LEVEL=INFO
      - MAX_BULK_CONCURRENCY=10
      - EARNINGS_CACHE_TTL=3600
      - API_KEY_ENABLED=true
      - API_KEY=${API_KEY}  # Load from .env file or environment
    ports:

            initialDelaySeconds: 5
            periodSeconds: 10
          livenessProbe:
            httpGet:
              path: /health
              port: 8000
            initialDelaySeconds: 15
            periodSeconds: 20
```

## Usage Example

Get the latest quote for Apple:
```sh
# Without authentication (if API_KEY_ENABLED=false)
curl http://localhost:8000/quote/AAPL

# With authentication (if API_KEY_ENABLED=true)
curl -H "X-API-Key: your-secret-key-here" http://localhost:8000/quote/AAPL
```

**Response:**
```json
{
  "symbol": "AAPL",
  "current_price": 178.72,
  "previous_close": 177.49,
  "open_price": 177.52,
  "high": 179.63,
  "low": 176.21,
  "volume": 62456800
}
```

Fetch quotes for multiple symbols:

```sh
curl http://localhost:8000/quote?symbols=AAPL,MSFT,GOOGL
```

Get company info for Tesla:

```sh
curl http://localhost:8000/info/TSLA
```

Fetch quarterly earnings for Apple:

```sh
curl http://localhost:8000/earnings/AAPL?frequency=quarterly
```

Fetch annual earnings for Apple:

```sh
curl http://localhost:8000/earnings/AAPL?frequency=annual
```

## Monitoring Example
Prometheus query for average latency (5-minute window):
```promql
rate(http_request_duration_seconds_sum[5m]) / rate(http_request_duration_seconds_count[5m])
```
