Each ticker is one charge, including its optional historical price series. You are only charged for quotes actually returned. Apify platform usage is billed separately by Apify.

How to Scrape Yahoo Finance (Step by Step)

1. Click Try for free / Run.
2. Enter symbols (e.g. AAPL, BTC-USD, EURUSD=X), or add searchQueries to resolve names to tickers.
3. Toggle includeHistorical if you want OHLCV history, then pick a historicalRange and historicalInterval.
4. Run the Actor (start with a few tickers to test).
5. Export the results as JSON, CSV, Excel, or HTML, or pull them via the Apify API.

Use cases

• Portfolio & watchlist tracking - pull live prices on a schedule
• Quant research & backtesting - bulk historical OHLCV across many tickers
• Dashboards & alerts - feed prices into BI tools or notifications
• Crypto + forex monitoring - BTC-USD, ETH-USD, EURUSD=X, and more

Tips

• Symbols follow Yahoo's format: crypto as BTC-USD, forex as EURUSD=X, indices as ^GSPC.
• Turn on includeHistorical and pick a historicalRange / historicalInterval for time-series data.
• Use searchQueries when you know the name but not the exact ticker.
