I can retrieve an individual stock's price data as follows:

import yfinance as yf

stockPrice = yf.Ticker("AAPL").history(period="max")["Close"] #by the way, ["Close"] is not strictly required.

Is there a way to retrieve the historical compounded price data of a stock exchange as a whole (e.g. AEX, IBEX, DAX, etc.)?

Any help is appreciated!

    What happened when you tried reading the documentation for yfinance? What exactly do you expect "the entire stock exchange" to mean (do you even know how many companies that is?) - how do you expect the data to be structured?

    Does this answer your question? [How to get a complete list of ticker symbols from Yahoo Finance?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/5246843/how-to-get-a-complete-list-of-ticker-symbols-from-yahoo-finance) – Ani Apr 15 '21 at 16:07

    @KarlKnechtel, your skepticism is warranted; but it was due to my wrongly formulated question. I'll rewrite it. – Value_Investor Apr 15 '21 at 16:33

    @Ani, thank you for your feedback, but no, this does not answer my question. My question, however, was vague, and I will now rewrite it. – Value_Investor Apr 15 '21 at 16:34

    @Value_Investor Welcome to stack overflow. This seems like a fine question. I'm not sure why there was a vote to close - that seems like a mean-spirited response to a new member. – user48956 Apr 15 '21 at 16:46
  • In that case, what happened when you tried putting, e.g., `yfinance stock ticker for nasdaq` into a search engine? This doesn't appear to be a programming question, it's just a question of knowing what things are called in the trading world. – Karl Knechtel Apr 15 '21 at 22:33

How about this? Just pass multiple ticker symbols to download.

import yfinance as yf

data = yf.download("AEX IBEX DAX AAPL", periods="max")['Close']
data.tail()

Output:

    AAPL    AEX DAX IBEX
Date                
2022-03-21  165.380005  NaN 28.230000   16.16
2022-03-22  168.820007  NaN 28.629999   15.85
2022-03-23  170.210007  NaN 28.065001   15.91
2022-03-24  174.070007  NaN 28.207001   16.18
2022-03-25  174.720001  NaN 28.340000   15.00
