Yahoo Finance Scraper: Quotes, Analyst Targets & Change Alerts

Export Yahoo Finance data for stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto, currencies and futures with one symbol list. Every symbol returns one row: price and day change, market cap, P/E and other ratios, dividends and ex-dividend date, next earnings date and estimates, analyst rating, average price target and upside, the latest analyst actions (firm, old and new rating, old and new target), the last four earnings surprises and performance against the S&P 500. Optional: about one year of daily price history per symbol.

• Change alerts for traders. Turn on Only changes and schedule the Actor: each run returns only symbols that are new or whose analyst rating, average price target, analyst count, next earnings date, dividend or latest analyst action changed. Symbols that did not change are not returned and not charged. Add a day-move threshold (for example 5 %) to also get symbols that jumped or dropped.
• Daily price history. One row per trading day: open, high, low, close, adjusted close, volume, dividend, split. In monitoring mode only the days since your last run are added.
• Any Yahoo symbol. AAPL, BRK-B, 0700.HK, 7203.T, SAP.DE, SPY, ^GSPC, BTC-USD, EURUSD=X, ES=F. Unknown symbols are reported in the SYMBOLS report and are free.
• Many symbols per run. Up to 500 symbols; duplicates are ignored.

No login and no API key. The Actor reads the public Yahoo Finance quote and history pages at a slow pace with an honest user agent (about one request every 1.5 seconds). It does not call Yahoo's query1/query2 API hosts. No person names (company officers) or contact details are collected.

Good to know

• Prices are delayed about 15 minutes for many exchanges, as on the Yahoo Finance website. The Actor is for research, screening and alerts, not for trading execution.
• The daily history covers about the last year. Option chains and full financial statements are not included.
• Yahoo's terms restrict automated access; you are responsible for how you use the data. For commercial redistribution check Yahoo's terms and your market-data licenses.
