Yahoo Finance API yf.Ticker(ticker).info to CSV problem

When I’m using

ticker = "MSFT"
stock = yf.Ticker('MSFT').history('5y')

stock 

I get a dataframe in response

When I use

ticker = "MSFT"
stock_info = yf.Ticker(ticker).info
stock_info 

I’m receiving a list from Yahoo finance API. How can I transform this list to a Dataframe in Pandas? So I could use

stock.to_csv(folder + ticker + ".csv") => Working with 'history' data

stock_info.to_csv(folder + ticker + ".csv") => Not working with 'info' data because it's a list not a dataframe.

How can I save yf.Ticker(ticker).info data to a csv?

ticker = "MSFT"
stock_info = yf.Ticker(ticker).info
stock_info
stock_info.to_csv(folder + ticker + ".csv")

This is the full response from Yahoo Finance API from which I only need ‘freeCashflow’, ‘industry’, ‘debtToEquity, ‘returnOnEquity’, ‘sharesOutstanding’ to CSV

ticker = "MSFT"
stock_info = yf.Ticker(ticker).info
stock_info

df = pd.DataFrame(stock_info)
df

This code returns an empty df but I can see the columns. 154 columns but 0 rows??? I should have 1 row of data.

Answer

I fixed it using

        stock_info
        df = pd.DataFrame.from_dict(stock_info,orient='index').T

Thanks anyway :-)
