What does Yahoo Finance Scraper do?

Yahoo Finance Scraper extracts stock, ETF, fund, index, crypto, currency and futures data from finance.yahoo.com and turns a list of tickers (or a search, a Yahoo screener or a trending list) into one structured row per ticker: the live quote plus the data sections you pick, from company profile and key statistics to full financial statements, analyst targets, holders, SEC filings, earnings-call transcripts, options with Greeks, price history and news. Built for investors, quant and fintech developers, analysts and AI agents who need Yahoo Finance data on a schedule without maintaining their own scraper.

Also known as: Yahoo Finance API, Yahoo stock scraper, yfinance alternative, stock quote API, stock data scraper.

Yahoo Finance quote page for Apple (AAPL) that Yahoo Finance Scraper turns into a ticker row

  • One row per ticker, everything you pick inside it: quote (90 Yahoo fields: price, change, volume, market cap, P/E, EPS, dividend, 52-week range, pre/post market), profile, statistics, statements, earnings, analysts, holders, insiders, SEC filings, transcripts, insights, similar symbols, news, options, history, dividends and technical indicators.
  • Every financial-statement line item: income statement, balance sheet and cash flow from Yahoo's fundamentals series, annual (about 4 years), quarterly (5 quarters) and trailing 12 months: 160 annual line items for Apple on our test run.
  • Bulk and discovery: 1,000 tickers per run is routine (Yahoo's quote endpoint answers 1,000 symbols in one call); 29 Yahoo screeners, trending tickers by country, the market summary, symbol search up to 1,000 matches, company names and ISINs resolved to tickers.
  • Rows when you need them: price bars, option contracts, headlines and section records (statement periods, holders, insider trades, rating changes, filings, transcripts) can each come as rows of their own for spreadsheets and backtests.
  • Monitor mode: every scheduled run returns each ticker's change since the last run, and only the headlines, filings, rating changes, insider trades and transcripts that are new; alert-only mode delivers just the movers; webhook and Telegram notifications.
  • yfinance layout: one switch reshapes each row into the stock_info, price_info, history, financials, dividends, splits, news, recommendations, holders, options and earnings blocks yfinance-based tools expect.
  • No login, no cookies, no Yahoo API key. Pay only for delivered rows: no start fee.
  • Export anywhere: JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS; Apify API, schedules, webhooks, Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets; callable from AI agents through Apify's MCP server.

Input JSON

{
"tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "NVDA", "SPY", "BTC-USD"],
"sections": ["quote", "profile", "statistics", "financials", "analyst", "news", "options"],
"financialsPeriod": "both",
"maxNewsPerTicker": 5,
"optionExpirations": 2,
"optionStrikesAroundPrice": 10
}

Pick the sections before anything else

The price is per ticker row whatever you pick, but each extra section is one more request per ticker and a bigger row. A price poll needs only quote; a research pull can take everything.

Use rows for spreadsheets, nesting for apps

Bars, contracts and headlines inside the ticker row keep one row per symbol (easy for apps and APIs). historyFormat: rows, optionsFormat: rows, newsFormat: rows and sectionsAsRows give one flat row per bar, contract, headline or record, which is what CSV, Excel and backtests want.

Give large runs 1 GB of memory

Apify gives a run a CPU share proportional to its memory. A 300-ticker run with the default sections took 179 s at 128 MB and 21 s at 1,024 MB for the same platform cost. For hundreds of tickers or many sections, set Memory to 1024 MB.

Integrations, API, scheduling & MCP

  • Schedules: Console → Schedules → add this actor with your input (cron, e.g. every 5 minutes on weekdays). Turn on Monitor mode to get the change since the last run on every ticker and only new headlines and filings.
  • Webhooks and alerts: Apify webhooks on run success, or this actor's own webhookUrl / Telegram inputs, which fire only when a run delivered something.
  • API: start runs and read datasets with the Apify API, from Python or JavaScript.
  • MCP: add the actor to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client through Apify's MCP server; use compactOutput for small rows.
  • No-code: Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, Airtable, Slack, Keboola and every Apify integration.

Limits & empty runs

  • News: Yahoo serves about 48 headlines per ticker; the summary comes from Yahoo's RSS feed and is present on about 3 in 4 headlines (73% on our test). Article text is read only for finance.yahoo.com articles; some are teasers of partner articles (articleTextStatus: teaser_only, not charged).
  • Transcripts: Yahoo shows the newest earnings call in full to everyone; older calls are behind Yahoo's paid plan, so they are listed (title, date, link) and marked paywalled, never charged as text.
  • ESG scores: Yahoo no longer returns them (checked on Apple, Microsoft, Exxon, JPMorgan and Vodafone); governance risk scores in assetProfile are kept.
  • Intraday history: 1-minute bars for about the last 30 days (read in Yahoo's 7-day windows), 2-90 minute bars for 60 days, hourly for 2 years; a longer request is cut to that window and says so in history.note.
  • Statements: about 4 annual periods, 5 quarters and trailing 12 months, as Yahoo publishes them; no trailing balance sheet exists.
  • Quotes are as Yahoo shows them, with the exchange's delay in exchangeDataDelayedBy.
  • Speed: Yahoo answers fast but limits a shared IP when a run asks too much at once; the actor slows down by itself and, only if that persists, moves to Apify's datacenter proxy. A 300-ticker run with every section took 171 s at 1 GB of memory.
  • Never charged: symbols Yahoo does not know (notFound rows say why), rows a filter removed, rows past maxItems or your spending limit, headlines, filings and other items an earlier monitor run already delivered, and tickers that movers mode held back. In monitor mode every ticker row is still delivered and charged (it carries the change since the last run).
