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 — 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**. ### What you get per symbol | Field | Notes | |---|---| | `price`, `previousClose` | Latest price and prior close. | | `change`, `changePercent` | Absolute and % move vs previous close. | | `dayHigh`, `dayLow`, `volume` | Regular-session day stats. | | `fiftyTwoWeekHigh`, `fiftyTwoWeekLow` | 52-week range. | | `name`, `currency`, `exchange`, `marketState` | Instrument info + REGULAR/CLOSED/PRE/POST. | | `marketTime` | Timestamp of the quote (ISO 8601). | | `history` | Optional OHLCV array (`date, open, high, low, close, adjClose, volume`). | ### Input ```json { "symbols": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "BTC-USD", "EURUSD=X", "^GSPC"], "includeHistory": true, "interval": "1d", "range": "6mo" } ```` - **symbols** — Yahoo tickers, one per line. Stocks (`AAPL`), ETFs (`SPY`), crypto (`BTC-USD`), forex (`EURUSD=X`), indices (`^GSPC`). - **includeHistory** — attach an OHLCV candle array (default off = quote only). - **interval** — candle size (`1m`…`1mo`) for history. - **range** — how far back (`1d`…`max`) for history. - **maxConcurrency** — symbols fetched in parallel. - **proxyConfiguration** — optional; only if you hit rate limits. ### Output (one row per symbol) ```json { "symbol": "AAPL", "name": "Apple Inc.", "currency": "USD", "exchange": "NasdaqGS", "marketState": "REGULAR", "price": 315.32, "previousClose": 312.10, "change": 3.22, "changePercent": 1.03, "dayHigh": 316.4, "dayLow": 311.8, "volume": 48213000, "fiftyTwoWeekHigh": 320.1, "fiftyTwoWeekLow": 210.4, "marketTime": "2026-07-10T20:00:00.000Z", "found": true } ``` ### Notes Symbols that don't exist return a row with `found: false`. Data is provided by Yahoo Finance for personal/informational use — respect their terms; not investment advice. # Actor input Schema ## `symbols` (type: `array`): Yahoo Finance tickers: stocks (AAPL, MSFT), ETFs (SPY), crypto (BTC-USD), forex (EURUSD=X), indices (^GSPC). One per line. ## `includeHistory` (type: `boolean`): Attach an OHLCV candle array (per the interval/range below) to each symbol. Off = live quote only. ## `interval` (type: `string`): Candle size for history. ## `range` (type: `string`): How far back the history goes. ## `maxConcurrency` (type: `integer`): How many symbols to fetch in parallel. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Optional. Yahoo's public feed works from datacenter IPs; enable a proxy only if you hit rate limits. ## Actor input object example ```json { "symbols": [ "AAPL", "MSFT", "BTC-USD" ], "includeHistory": false, "interval": "1d", "range": "1mo", "maxConcurrency": 10, "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" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("hipersoft/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 📖?
