They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows. 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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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 — Stocks, ETFs, Indices & Crypto Pull **live market quotes** from Yahoo Finance for any ticker: **price, daily change (%), day range, 52-week range, volume**, and optional **OHLC price history**. Works for **stocks, ETFs, indices, currencies and crypto** — no API key, no login. Feed it ticker symbols (or a search term) and get a clean table you can export to CSV / Excel / JSON or pull live via the Apify API. ### What you can do with it - 📈 Build a **stock / crypto watchlist** and refresh it on a schedule - 🧮 Pull **OHLC history** for backtesting or charts (1m → monthly candles) - 🔔 Feed price alerts to Google Sheets, a bot, or a dashboard - 🌍 Track indices (`^GSPC`, `^IXIC`), FX (`EURUSD=X`), and crypto (`BTC-USD`) side by side ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |-------|------|-------------| | `symbols` | array | Yahoo tickers, e.g. `AAPL`, `MSFT`, `TSLA`, `^GSPC`, `BTC-USD`, `EURUSD=X`. | | `searchQuery` | string | Free-text (e.g. `apple`) used to resolve tickers when `symbols` is empty. | | `range` | string | Snapshot / history range: `1d`, `5d`, `1mo` … `max`. | | `interval` | string | Candle granularity when history is enabled: `1m` … `1mo`. | | `includeHistory` | boolean | Attach an array of OHLC candles for the range/interval. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Optional proxy for high-volume runs. | #### Example — a watchlist ```json { "symbols": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "TSLA", "BTC-USD"] } ```` #### Example — daily candles for a year ```json { "symbols": ["NVDA"], "range": "1y", "interval": "1d", "includeHistory": true } ``` ### Output Each item is one symbol: ```json { "symbol": "AAPL", "name": "Apple Inc.", "exchange": "NasdaqGS", "instrumentType": "EQUITY", "currency": "USD", "price": 333.02, "previousClose": 321.66, "change": 11.36, "changePct": 3.53, "dayHigh": 334.37, "dayLow": 321.62, "fiftyTwoWeekHigh": 334.99, "fiftyTwoWeekLow": 201.5, "volume": 47402209, "marketTime": "2026-07-26T20:00:01.000Z", "url": "https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL" } ``` With `includeHistory: true` each item also has a `history` array of `{ date, open, high, low, close, volume }` candles. ### Notes - Data comes from Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoints. - Use Yahoo's ticker format: indices start with `^`, FX ends with `=X`, crypto uses `-USD`. # Actor input Schema ## `symbols` (type: `array`): Yahoo Finance tickers, e.g. "AAPL", "MSFT", "TSLA", "^GSPC" (S\&P 500), "BTC-USD", "EURUSD=X". Leave empty to use the search query below. ## `searchQuery` (type: `string`): Free-text search (e.g. "apple", "tesla") used to resolve tickers when no symbols are given. ## `range` (type: `string`): Time range used for the price snapshot and (if enabled) history. ## `interval` (type: `string`): Granularity of OHLC candles when history is included. ## `includeHistory` (type: `boolean`): Attach an array of open/high/low/close/volume candles for the selected range and interval. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Yahoo Finance endpoints are public; a proxy can help at high volume. ## Actor input object example ```json { "symbols": [ "AAPL", "MSFT", "BTC-USD" ], "range": "1d", "interval": "1d", "includeHistory": false, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "symbols": [ "AAPL", "MSFT", "BTC-USD" ], "searchQuery": "" }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("hichemdev/yahoo-finance-scraper").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
