## Run it

Ask an AI agent connected to Reduck over MCP (`https://mcp.reduck.ai/mcp`) to run `reduck/finance.yahoo.com/get_historical_prices`, or run it from a terminal:

```bash
npx @reduck-ai/cli@latest run --script reduck/finance.yahoo.com/get_historical_prices
```

## Input

- `range` (string, required): Matches the site's own chart range buttons (1D/5D/1M/6M/YTD/1Y/5Y/All, plus a few extra Yahoo also accepts).
- `symbol` (string, required): Single Yahoo Finance ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL, BTC-USD, CL=F, ^VIX. The chart endpoint is single-symbol only.
- `interval` (string, required): Candle granularity. Fine intervals (e.g. 1m) are only available for short ranges — Yahoo enforces this server-side and the script surfaces its error verbatim on a mismatch.

## Output

- `range` (string, required)
- `symbol` (string, required)
- `candles` (array, required)
- `interval` (string, required)
- `currency` (string | null, optional)
- `timezone` (string | null, optional)
