A very simple and untested function for scraping stock info from Yahoo Finance. Built on Axios/Cheerio.

For example...

getStockInfo("TD", "TO")

{

  'Open': '82.29',
  'Bid': '82.80 x 0',
  'Ask': '82.92 x 0',
  "Day's Range": '82.29 - 82.91',
  '52 Week Range': '53.19 - 83.65',
  'Volume': '2,377,810',
  'Avg. Volume': '6,491,351',
  'Market Cap': '150.715B',
  'Beta (5Y Monthly)': '0.87',
  'PE Ratio (TTM)': '12.57',

  '1y Target Est': '82.38',
  'holders': {

    '% of Shares Held by Institutions': '56.11%',
    '% of Float Held by Institutions': '56.14%',
    'Number of Institutions Holding Shares': '883'
  }
}

The property "% of Shares Held by All Insider" can be returned using the method insiders() method.

getStockInfo("TD", "TO").insiders()

which returns...
