Why Use This Yahoo Finance Scraper?

Most legacy Yahoo Finance scrapers and yfinance wrappers on Apify broke when Yahoo Finance enforced fc.yahoo.com A3 cookie + crumb authentication and deprecated legacy balanceSheetHistory / cashflowStatementHistory modules in v10/finance/quoteSummary.

This Actor solves both problems natively using pure async HTTP/2 (httpx):

1. Automatic Crumb & Cookie Handshake (fc.yahoo.com + v1/test/getcrumb): Zero 401 Unauthorized or 403 Forbidden errors without requiring expensive residential proxies.
2. Full Financial Statements Restored (fundamentals-timeseries): Combines v10/finance/quoteSummary with Yahoo's ws/fundamentals-timeseries/v1/finance/timeseries API so your Income Statement, Balance Sheet (TotalAssets, CashAndCashEquivalents, TotalDebt, StockholdersEquity), and Cash Flow Statement (OperatingCashFlow, CapitalExpenditure, FreeCashFlow) are 100% populated across both annual and quarterly periods.
3. 100% Drop-In Schema Compatibility: Supports the exact input (tickers, start_date, end_date) and output keys (ticker, stock_info, price_info, history, financials, dividends, splits, news, recommendations, holders, options, earnings) expected by existing workflows.
4. Built for AI Agents, Hedge Fund Automation & MCP Pipelines: Every ticker includes aiSummaryMarkdown (a structured Markdown financial tear-sheet) and ragChunks ready for LangChain, LlamaIndex, CrewAI, or Claude/OpenAI tool calling.
