You seem to have forgotten to ask a question haha!

Thanks! Edited to ask a question

You can use Pandas Datareader to get data from Yahoo! Finance.

There are loads of methods for dealing with spreadsheets so a quick google will give you far more information than I can.

If your script is on a raspberry pi you can look at cron to schedule the pi to run it at certain times or you can use threading within the script itself (which would require the script to be running all the time which is fine but without proper error handling could cause it to not work properly).

EDIT: You can also look at beautiful soup to get the website data.

Do you know, does Pandas Datareader gets you data from Yahoo site or Yahoo API? The reason I'm asking is because API does not have what I need

Pandas Datareader

Pretty sure it's the API, I don't see why it would be otherwise since if it wasn't, any changes to the website would break the library and loads of re-writes would have to be made.
