Yahoo Finance Scraper — Live Quotes & Price History

Pull live market data for any ticker from Yahoo Finance. Give the Actor a list of symbols and it returns each one's price, day change, day range, 52-week range, volume, exchange and market state — plus optional OHLCV price history. Works for stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex and indices. Public data, so no login, no API key.

Great for portfolio tracking, market dashboards, quant datasets, alerting and research.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or Yahoo Finance account? No. The Actor reads public Yahoo Finance market data, so there's no login and no API key. A proxy is optional and only needed if you hit rate limits.

How many symbols can I fetch per run? There's no fixed cap — pass as many tickers as you like (one per line) and tune maxConcurrency to control how many are fetched in parallel. Symbols that don't exist come back with found: false.

How fresh is the data? Quotes are pulled live at run time and include a marketState (REGULAR/CLOSED/PRE/POST) plus a marketTime ISO timestamp, so you always know when the price was captured.

Is this official Yahoo Finance data? The data is provided by Yahoo Finance for personal/informational use, but this Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Yahoo. It is not investment advice.

What's the output format? Flat JSON, one row per symbol, with price, day change, day range, 52-week range, volume and exchange — plus an optional OHLCV history array. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Can I connect the Yahoo Finance Scraper to other tools? The Yahoo Finance Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
