As from the answer from BrianC use the YQL console  But after selecting the  Show Community Tables  go to the bottom of the tables list and expand yahoo where you find plenty of yahoo finance tables   Stock Quotes    yahoo finance quotes yahoo finance historicaldata   Fundamental analysis    yahoo finance keystats yahoo finance balancesheet yahoo finance incomestatement yahoo finance analystestimates yahoo finance dividendhistory   Technical analysis    yahoo finance historicaldata yahoo finance quotes yahoo finance quant yahoo finance option    General financial information    yahoo finance industry yahoo finance sectors yahoo finance isin yahoo finance quoteslist yahoo finance xchange   2 Nov 2017  Yahoo finance has apparently killed this API  for more info and alternative resources see https   news ycombinator com item id 15616880

To your first question  you can t really do any query through YQL to get data for all companies  It s more oriented towards obtaining data for a smaller query   I e   it s not going to give you a full data dump of the whole Yahoo  Finance database    To your second question  here s how you can get started exploring the Yahoo  Finance tables in YQL    Start at the YQL Console In the upper left corner  make sure Show Community Tables is checked Type finance in the search field You ll see all the Yahoo Finance tables  about 15    Then you can try some example queries like the following   select   from yahoo finance quote where symbol in   YHOO   AAPL   GOOG   MSFT    Update 2016-04-04  Here s a current screenshot showing the location of the Show Community Tables checkbox which must be clicked to see these finance tables
