Daily alerts in 2 minutes

Get the day-to-day moves of symbols delivered on a timer instead of running the Actor by hand.

1. Turn on "Compare with last run" (Input tab, section Monitoring). The first run records the starting point (every symbol marked isNew: true); every later run returns the usual record plus changes — the old and new price, with the difference and the percentage — for everything that moved since the last run.
2. Put it on a timer. Save your input as a task, then open Schedules → Create new schedule, set the cron expression 30 21 * * 1-5 (weekdays at 21:30 UTC, after the US market close) and add the task.
3. Get the result where you work. In the task, open Integrations and send each run's results by e-mail (Gmail), to Slack or into Google Sheets (see the integration-ready Actors); all integrations.

What it costs: you pay for the symbols delivered, as always. Tracking 10 symbols every day is 10 × $0.001 = $0.01 a day, about $0.30 a month on the Free plan (less on higher plans).

The last values (price) are kept in a named key-value store (monitor-<actor name>) in your own account; a symbol not read for 60 days is forgotten. Use Watch list name to keep separate trackers apart.

Use it to:

• Build a watchlist: price, change, volume, market cap, P/E and EPS for stocks, ETFs, crypto, currencies, futures and indexes in one run.
• Download price history: daily, weekly or intraday prices with dividends and splits, for any range or dates.
• Screen fundamentals: sector, revenue, margins, cash, debt, free cash flow and analyst targets, with one switch.
• Plan around the calendar: earningsDate, dividendDate, dividendYield and analystRating for every symbol.
• Feed a spreadsheet or a model: export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or call it from your own code.

Yahoo Finance Scraper gets Yahoo Finance data for any symbol: stocks on any exchange, ETFs, crypto, currencies, futures and indexes, with price, change, volume, market cap, P/E, EPS, dividends, 52-week range and more. Switch on price history for daily, weekly or intraday prices with dividends and splits, and company data for sector, revenue, margins, cash, debt and analyst targets. Quotes come 50 symbols to a request, and you pay only per symbol delivered.

How much does it cost?

$0.001 per symbol delivered on the Apify Free plan, $1.00 per 1,000 symbols; paid plans are lower, down to $0.70 per 1,000 on Gold and above. The price is the same whether or not you add company data and price history. Unknown symbols come back as free records with the reason.

Worked example: a live run of 12 symbols with company data and five years of weekly prices each took 3.3 seconds and cost $0.012. A 500-symbol watchlist refreshed daily costs $0.50 a day.

Use it from AI agents (MCP)

The Actor is available through the Apify MCP server. Add https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=highbrow_fame/yahoo-finance-quotes to Claude, ChatGPT or any MCP client and the assistant can fetch quotes, history and fundamentals with this Actor's own input fields. You pay per symbol delivered, at the same rate.

Is it legal to scrape Yahoo Finance?

The Actor reads public Yahoo Finance market data: quotes, price history and company fundamentals. It collects no personal data, so no phone numbers, names or addresses are involved and there is nothing to strip under GDPR. Prices are what Yahoo Finance shows, real-time for many US stocks and crypto and delayed for some exchanges; the output is not investment advice. You remain responsible for how you use the data and for Yahoo's terms. This is an independent tool, not affiliated with Yahoo.
