Yahoo Finance Scraper: Quotes, Fundamentals & History

One row per ticker symbol with everything Yahoo Finance shows for it: the live quote, company profile and officers, key statistics, analyst ratings and price targets, upgrades and downgrades, earnings, holders, insider trades, SEC filings and, for funds, holdings and performance. Financial statements, price history, option chains, news, similar symbols and insights are one switch each. No account, login or API key needed.

Tested daily. Latest checks: 5 of 5 symbols (AAPL, MSFT, NVDA, SPY, BTC-USD) with a month of daily prices and news in 13 seconds; 328 symbols from a screener, two trending lists, a search and eight typed symbols (a German, a Japanese, an Indian and a British stock, a fund, an index, a currency and a future) in 4 minutes; 30 symbols with every section in 60 seconds; and the whole daily price history of 30 symbols in 35 seconds.

What does this Actor do?

You give it ticker symbols, or ask it to find them: from a Yahoo Finance search, a region's trending list or one of Yahoo's ready-made screeners (day gainers, most active, undervalued growth stocks, top ETFs and more). For each symbol it saves one row with every section Yahoo Finance has for it. Stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, indices, crypto, currencies and futures all work, on any exchange Yahoo covers (AAPL, 7203.T, SAP.DE, BTC-USD, EURUSD=X, ^GSPC, GC=F).

Each row comes with:

• the symbol, name, type, exchange, currency, market state, price, change, volume, market cap, sector, industry, country, website and employees
• the full quote: pre- and post-market prices, day and 52-week ranges, averages, dividend yield and dates, P/E, beta and more
• the company profile and its officers (title, age, pay)
• key statistics: enterprise value, margins, shares outstanding and short interest, insider and institutional holdings, splits
• financial data: revenue, cash, debt, growth, analysts' mean target and recommendation
• earnings: the next date and estimates, past quarters against estimates, revenue and EPS trends
• analysts: recommendation counts by month and every upgrade or downgrade Yahoo lists, with firm and price target
• holders: the breakdown, top institutions and funds, insiders and their trades, net share purchases
• SEC filings, Yahoo's ESG scores where it has them, and for funds the fund profile, top holdings, sector weights and performance

And, when you switch them on:

• Financial statements: about 100 line items of the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow, for the last four fiscal years, the last five quarters and the trailing twelve months
• Price history: open, high, low, close, adjusted close and volume for any range and interval, plus dividends, splits and capital gains
• Option chains: calls and puts for the nearest expirations, with bid, ask, volume, open interest and implied volatility
• News: the newest stories for the symbol, with publisher, link and time
• Similar symbols: the tickers Yahoo shows alongside it
• Insights: technical outlook, valuation, analysts' rating and research summaries

Why use it?

• The whole symbol in one row. Quote, profile, statistics, analysts, holders and earnings come together, so one row answers most questions about a ticker.
• Find symbols as well as read them. Search by name, take a market's trending list or a screener, and every symbol found is read in full.
• Options you can switch on. Statements, history, option chains, news and insights only when you need them; a plain run stays fast.
• Clean values. Numbers are numbers, dates are YYYY-MM-DD and times are ISO 8601, ready for a spreadsheet or a database.
• Use the data anywhere. Download as JSON, CSV or Excel, or send it to your own tools through Apify's API and integrations.

How to use it

1. Type ticker symbols into Ticker symbols, or fill Search queries, Trending symbols in or Screeners.
2. Optionally, switch on Financial statements, Price history (and set its range and interval), Option expirations, News per symbol, Similar symbols or Insights.
3. Click Start. When the run ends, open the Output tab to view the rows or download them.

Run it with no input to see a sample: five symbols with a month of daily prices and five news stories each, charged as usual.

Every field name is snake_case. A ratio is a fraction (0.0098 is 0.98%).

How much does it cost?

No surcharges and no paid options; an item that fails is not charged.

This Actor is priced per symbol saved:

• $0.50 per 1,000 symbols ($0.0005 a symbol), with every section you switched on. Each symbol is charged once per run.
• No start fee, and nothing per list, per section or per news story.

So 1,000 symbols cost $0.50. If you set a maximum cost for a run, the Actor stops when it reaches it and keeps every symbol saved so far.

How long does a run take?

About 10 seconds for the sample's five symbols with their history and news, about 4 minutes for 328 symbols, about a minute for 30 symbols with every section switched on (statements, a year of daily prices, two option expirations, 10 news stories, similar symbols and insights), and about 35 seconds for 30 symbols' whole daily price history.

Good to know

• Prices are Yahoo Finance's own, as its pages show them; some exchanges are delayed there, and the row's price section says by how much.
• A symbol Yahoo does not know is skipped and not charged; the rest of the run carries on.
• A symbol two lists name is saved and charged once, under the list that reached it first.
• Yahoo's search returns only a handful of symbols per query, the trending lists up to 100, and screeners as many as they hold; Max symbols per list caps each one.
• Intraday price history is short-lived at Yahoo: 1-minute bars for the last 30 days, 2 to 90-minute bars for the last 60 and hourly bars for the last 2 years. The Actor refuses a range Yahoo cannot answer before the run starts.
• Option chains cover up to the three nearest expirations; every expiration date and strike is listed either way. Past expirations are not available.
• This Actor reads public Yahoo Finance data only. It does not read Yahoo's premium research, portfolios or watchlists.

FAQ

Which symbols work? Any symbol Yahoo Finance has a quote page for: US and international stocks (SAP.DE, 7203.T, RELIANCE.NS), ETFs, mutual funds, indices (^GSPC), crypto (BTC-USD), currencies (EURUSD=X) and futures (GC=F).

Can I get only the price? Every row carries the whole quote; switch off the sections you do not need and use the Overview view or the fields you want.

How often is the data updated? Each run reads what Yahoo Finance shows at that moment. Schedule the Actor on Apify to keep a record over time.
