Google Finance Scraper — quotes, key stats & news

Google shut down its Finance API years ago. This Actor gives you the same data back as clean JSON: price, change, previous close, day and 52-week range, market cap, average volume, P/E ratio, dividend yield, EPS, beta, company description and related news for stocks, ETFs, indexes, currencies and crypto — straight from the public Google Finance quote pages. No browser, no login, no API key.

What it does

• Loads https://www.google.com/finance/quote/{TICKER} for every ticker you give it and reads the data embedded in the page (not fragile CSS classes), so numbers are raw values, not formatted strings like "4.86T".
• Works for stocks (AAPL:NASDAQ, SAP:ETR, 7203:TYO), ETFs (SPY:NYSEARCA), indexes (.INX:INDEXSP, .DJI:INDEXDJX), currencies (EUR-USD) and crypto (BTC-USD).
• Bare US symbols (TSLA, JPM, SPY) are resolved automatically: NASDAQ → NYSE → NYSEARCA.
• Related news: the ticker's "News stories" list with title, source, URL and publish time.
• Any language Google supports (hl=de, fr, ja…) for descriptions and news.
• Built-in retries with exponential backoff, EU consent handling and optional Apify Proxy rotation for Google's rate limits.

Use cases

• Portfolio & watchlist trackers — daily quotes and key stats for a list of tickers into Google Sheets, Notion or a database.
• Fintech prototypes — a free quote + fundamentals + news feed without a market-data contract.
• Research & newsletters — snapshot market cap, P/E and dividend yield for a universe of stocks; pull the latest headlines per ticker.
• AI agents & LLM apps — give an assistant structured, current market context for a company.

• changePercent and dividendYield are in percent (1.10 = 1.10 %). marketCap is in the quote currency.
• assetType is stock, etf, mutualFund, index, currency or crypto.
• Fields that don't apply are null (e.g. no P/E for an index, no market cap for EUR-USD; indexes have no currency).
• quoteTime is the time of the regular-session price; afterHoursPrice is set for US stocks outside regular hours.

Error item

{ "input": "ZZZZQX", "errorType": "NOT_FOUND", "error": "No Google Finance quote for ZZZZQX:NASDAQ / ZZZZQX:NYSE / ZZZZQX:NYSEARCA. Use SYMBOL:EXCHANGE as shown in the Google Finance URL, e.g. \"SAP:ETR\", \".DJI:INDEXDJX\".", "scrapedAt": "2026-10-01T01:38:30.989Z" }

errorType is NOT_FOUND, BLOCKED (rate-limited even after retries) or FETCH_FAILED. Error items are never charged.

Pricing

Pay-per-event:

• Actor start — small fixed fee per run.
• ticker-result — per ticker successfully scraped (news included).

Not-found tickers and errors are free. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops cleanly once it is reached.

FAQ

How fresh are the prices? Whatever Google Finance shows: real-time for some markets, delayed (typically 15–20 minutes) for many exchanges. Check quoteTime.

Why do I get BLOCKED errors? Google rate-limits many requests from the same IP (HTTP 429 or a captcha page). Enable Apify Proxy — every retry then uses a new IP — and prefer the RESIDENTIAL group for large lists. Lower maxConcurrency if you run without a proxy.

Can I get historical prices? Not in this version — it returns the current quote and key stats. Schedule it (e.g. daily) to build your own history.

Does it work from Europe? Yes. Consent cookies are sent with every request, so Google's consent page doesn't get in the way.

Why is a field null for my ticker? Google doesn't show it for that instrument (e.g. P/E for loss-making companies, dividend yield for non-payers, key stats for crypto).

Is this the official Google Finance API? No — Google has no public Finance API. This Actor reads the public web pages.
