Get detailed historical price, volume data, company profiles, dividends, splits and events from Yahoo Finance for multiple stocks and custom date ranges.
Residential Proxy Default: Datacenter proxies were getting stuck on Yahoo's consent wall (180s navigation timeouts, 0 requests finished), causing Apify QA runs to hit the 300s limit and flag the Actor as "Under maintenance". The crawler now defaults to RESIDENTIAL when no proxy group is specified, and input_schema.json defaults to Residential in the Console UI.
Timeout Budget: Reduced navigationTimeoutSecs from 180s to 60s and requestHandlerTimeoutSecs from 300s to 120s to stay well within QA's 5-minute limit.
Changed
Faster Page Load: Switched navigation to domcontentloaded so in-flight third-party requests can no longer stall the load event.
QA-representative run (3 symbols, 1y, profiles) now completes in ~45s vs the 300s limit.
[0.8.22] - 2026-10-04
Changed
Performance & Stability: Optimized maxConcurrency to 2 and adjusted navigationTimeoutSecs to 180s to prevent CPU overload and timeouts on Apify.
Proxy Configuration: Added proxyConfiguration to input_schema.json to allow users to select Residential proxies via Apify Console.
Browser Launch Options: Added --disable-extensions and --disable-software-rasterizer to reduce CPU usage.
Consent Handling: Removed networkidle dependency in consent handling to prevent hangs on slow trackers.
License: Updated to UNLICENSED to protect proprietary code.
Added
Company Profile Extraction: Added capability to extract company sector, industry, and detailed business summary.
Corporate Events Extraction: Added support for extracting "Upcoming Events" (Earnings, Dividend dates) and "Recent Events" (SEC filings, 8-K, 10-Q).
Date Range Enhancements: Standardized dateRange inputs to single characters (d, w, m, y) and added support for max to fetch all available historical data.
Offline Validation: Added native Node.js testing (tests/test.js) to validate input consistency and dataset schema without making network requests.
Project Architecture Documentation: Created ARCHITECTURE.md to document Clean Architecture patterns, conventions, and Playwright guidelines.
Changed
Massive Performance Boost: Implemented a strict network request whitelist (yahoo.com, yimg.com) to block all third-party ad networks and trackers. This reduced scraping time by up to 10x and eliminated CPU/Memory overloads.
Memory Optimization: Configured .env file to remove the default 4GB memory limit, allowing Crawlee to utilize available system RAM for better concurrency.
Documentation: Updated README.md to function strictly as an Apify Storefront page, removing local usage instructions.
[0.7.2] - 2026-06-20
Added
Unified Per-Symbol Output: Added a new output format that groups historical data, dividends, and splits by symbol into a single hierarchical JSON object.
Output Aggregator Service: Implemented OutputAggregator to handle data transformation cleanly without affecting the default dataset.
Input Configuration: Added generateUnifiedOutput toggle to input_schema.json (enabled by default) to allow users to opt-out of the new output format.
Output Schema: Updated output_schema.json to include the new UNIFIED_OUTPUT.json reference.
Changed
Updated README.md to document the new UNIFIED_OUTPUT format and input parameters.
