Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Yahoo Finance Scraper Scrape **Yahoo Finance** quotes, historical OHLCV, and ticker search — directly via public APIs. No API key required. ### Three modes | Mode | What | |------|------| | `quote` | Current price + meta (52-week range, day high/low, volume, exchange) per symbol | | `historical` | OHLCV time series for a range + interval (1m to 3mo) | | `search` | Find tickers by free-text query (with optional news) | ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `mode` | String (required) | `quote`, `historical`, or `search` | | `symbols` | Array | Tickers. Stocks: `AAPL`. Crypto: `BTC-USD`. Indices: `^GSPC`. Forex: `EURUSD=X`. | | `queries` | Array | Free-text queries (search mode). | | `range` | String | Historical: `1d`, `5d`, `1mo`, `3mo`, `6mo`, `1y`, `2y`, `5y`, `10y`, `ytd`, `max`. | | `interval` | String | Historical: `1m`, `2m`, `5m`, `15m`, `30m`, `60m`, `90m`, `1h`, `1d`, `5d`, `1wk`, `1mo`, `3mo`. | | `includeNews` | Boolean | Include news in search results. Default true. | ### Output (quote) ```json { "symbol": "AAPL", "longName": "Apple Inc.", "currency": "USD", "exchangeName": "NMS", "regularMarketPrice": 200.50, "change": 1.25, "changePercent": 0.62, "regularMarketDayHigh": 202.10, "regularMarketDayLow": 198.30, "regularMarketVolume": 50000000, "fiftyTwoWeekHigh": 220.00, "fiftyTwoWeekLow": 165.00, "regularMarketTime": "2026-06-01T20:00:00.000Z" } ```` ### Output (historical) ```json { "symbol": "AAPL", "date": "2026-05-30", "open": 199.0, "high": 201.0, "low": 198.5, "close": 200.5, "volume": 48000000, "adjClose": 200.5 } ``` ### Pricing $0.0005 per record. Pay-per-result. ### Limitations - Intraday intervals (1m-90m) require shorter ranges (max ~30d). - Some endpoints (`v7/finance/quote`, `quoteSummary`) require auth crumb — this scraper uses public endpoints only. - Yahoo throttles aggressive scraping; for >1000 symbols/run, add delays.
