Stock Price Tracker — Real-Time Quotes (Stocks, Crypto, Forex)

What is Stock Price Tracker?

Stock Price Tracker returns one row per ticker with the latest Yahoo Finance quote: price, change, percent change, volume, market cap, day range, 52-week range, moving averages, bid and ask, and pre-market and after-hours prices when they apply. It covers stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto, currencies, mutual funds and futures in one list. Traders, portfolio apps, spreadsheets and AI agents use it for fast, cheap price lookups for up to 500 tickers per run, with no API key.

Why traders use it for quotes

• Every asset type in one call. AAPL, BTC-USD, ^GSPC, EURUSD=X and ES=F side by side.
• Extended hours included. Pre-market and after-hours prices fill in when the market is outside regular hours.
• Agent-friendly output. responseFormat: "concise" returns nine key fields per ticker for AI agents and dashboards.
• Up to 500 tickers per run. Fetched in parallel for quick refreshes.
• Pay per ticker. One small charge per ticker resolved with a price.

Example workflow: a portfolio sheet that updates itself

An investor tracks 40 holdings across US stocks, ETFs and crypto. A task runs every 15 minutes during market hours with responseFormat: "concise", and an integration writes price and changePercent to a spreadsheet. Then, once a week, they pull deeper fundamentals for the top movers with Yahoo Finance Scraper.

Pricing

This Actor uses Pay per event. Apify platform usage is included in the event price. You pay one event per ticker resolved with a price, plus a start event per run. The live Pricing tab on this page shows the current price.

• 40 tickers = 40 ticker events.
• Unrecognized tickers are free.

Market data with AI agents (MCP)

Connect this Actor to an AI agent through Apify MCP and ask in plain language:

What are Apple, Nvidia and Bitcoin trading at right now, and how much have they moved today?

Agent checklist:

1. Put symbols in tickers; use Yahoo formats such as BTC-USD or ^GSPC.
2. Use responseFormat: "concise" for short answers.
3. Read rows with get-dataset-items; report price and changePercent.
4. Mention marketState when the market is closed.

Builder's note

I found that most people asking for a stock price want a quick, cheap lookup across a mixed watchlist, so one run handles stocks, crypto, indices and currencies together. I learned that AI agents work best with short records, so concise mode returns just the fields an answer needs.
