Earnings Call Scraper

Collect publicly readable Motley Fool earnings-call transcripts by ticker or supplied transcript URL. Each row includes the full conference-call text, actual call date, reporting quarter, speaker turns and source links when available.

Start a run

Open the Input tab, enter ticker symbols and choose the transcript limit. Click Start and download results from the Dataset tab as JSON, CSV or Excel. The default looks up AAPL and saves at most one transcript.

Example input:

{
  "tickers": [
    "AAPL",
    "MSFT"
  ],
  "maxTranscriptsPerCompany": 2,
  "maxItems": 4,
  "includeFullText": true,
  "splitBySpeaker": true,
  "extractMetrics": true,
  "extractForwardLooking": true
}

To use only supplied URLs, set tickers to an empty list and add public Motley Fool URLs to startUrls. Otherwise the default AAPL lookup also runs.

What you receive

This genuine Apple row came from a verified run. The fullText below is a 12-word excerpt for readability; the dataset retains the complete call. Speaker sections, metric sentences and outlook sentences are omitted from this short example.

Coverage and controls

The Actor reads HTTPS Motley Fool quote, transcript and article pages through direct public HTTP. It supports the transcript links exposed by the supplied public pages; it does not promise a complete archive. Date filters use the actual call date. Records without a known call date are excluded when a date filter is set.

The original per-company and global limits remain upper bounds. Turn off full text, speaker splitting, metric extraction or outlook extraction independently. Timeout, delay, response-size and bounded retry controls are available. Compatibility aliases include start_urls, urls, maxTranscripts, limit, timeoutSecs, retries and delayMs. Nondefault conflicting aliases are rejected.

A time is converted to UTC only when the source states a supported timezone. Date-only values remain date-only. If no published questions heading or explicit questions transition is found, speaker turns remain under preparedRemarks rather than guessing a boundary. Metric and outlook fields are matched sentences, not normalized financial facts or investment advice.

Access-denied, login, subscriber and challenge pages are skipped. Rate limits are not retried. If at least one real row was confirmed saved, the run succeeds and the summary reports partial coverage when a source or storage write fails. With no useful saved rows, the run fails. No placeholder rows are emitted. The Output tab links to the dataset and run summary.

Cost and support

Usage depends on requested pages, transcript sizes and platform limits. Check the displayed Apify run estimate and usage for the current cost. For support, provide the run URL, requested tickers and the source URL in the Issues tab.

Only use sources you are entitled to access, following the publisher terms and applicable requirements.
