## What's an Apify Actor?

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 stock scraper

Pull live stock quotes and full historical price data from Yahoo Finance without a login or an API key. Give it a list of tickers or a few company names and it returns clean, structured rows you can drop straight into a spreadsheet, a dashboard, or a model.

It reads Yahoo's public chart and search JSON endpoints and routes every request through Apify Proxy, so it stays reliable at scale. It works for stocks, ETFs, indices, mutual funds, crypto pairs, and FX pairs.

### What you get

Two output modes, set with the `mode` field.

Quote mode (default) returns one row per ticker with the current market snapshot: price, day change and percent change, previous close, day high and low, volume, 52 week high and low, currency, exchange, and the quote timestamp.

History mode returns one row per candle across the range and interval you pick: date, open, high, low, close, adjusted close, and volume. Ranges run from a single day to the full history, with daily, weekly, monthly, and intraday intervals.

### Input

- `tickers`: symbols to scrape, for example `AAPL`, `MSFT`, `^GSPC`, `BTC-USD`, `EURUSD=X`.
- `searchQueries`: company or asset names to resolve into symbols, for example `apple` or `coca cola`.
- `mode`: `quote` or `history`.
- `range` and `interval`: the window and candle size for history mode.
- `maxSearchResults`: how many symbols to keep from each search query.
- `proxyConfiguration`: Apify Proxy settings. Keep it on for scale.

The default run scrapes AAPL, MSFT, TSLA, GOOGL, and AMZN in quote mode, so the first run returns a filled dataset with no setup.

### Example quote row

```json
{
  "symbol": "AAPL",
  "shortName": "Apple Inc.",
  "regularMarketPrice": 327.5,
  "currency": "USD",
  "dayChange": 10.5,
  "dayChangePercent": 3.31,
  "previousClose": 317.0,
  "regularMarketDayHigh": 328.72,
  "regularMarketDayLow": 317.32,
  "regularMarketVolume": 60780931,
  "fiftyTwoWeekHigh": 328.73,
  "fiftyTwoWeekLow": 201.5,
  "fullExchangeName": "NasdaqGS",
  "regularMarketTime": "2026-07-15T20:00:00Z"
}
````

### Notes

Data comes from Yahoo Finance public endpoints and is provided as is for research and analysis. Symbols follow Yahoo's format: a caret for indices (`^GSPC`), a dash for crypto (`BTC-USD`), and `=X` for FX (`EURUSD=X`).

# Actor input Schema

## `tickers` (type: `array`):

Ticker symbols to scrape, for example AAPL, MSFT, TSLA. Works for stocks, ETFs, indices (^GSPC), crypto pairs (BTC-USD), and FX pairs (EURUSD=X).

## `searchQueries` (type: `array`):

Company or asset names to resolve into ticker symbols, for example apple or coca cola. Each query is looked up and the top matches are scraped alongside the tickers above.

## `mode` (type: `string`):

quote returns one compact row per ticker with the current market snapshot. history returns one row per candle in the OHLCV time series.

## `range` (type: `string`):

Time window for history mode and the previous-close reference in quote mode.

## `interval` (type: `string`):

Candle interval for history mode. Intraday intervals only work with short ranges.

## `maxSearchResults` (type: `integer`):

How many top symbols to keep from each search query.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy routes requests through rotating IPs. Recommended to keep on for scale.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "tickers": [
    "AAPL",
    "MSFT",
    "TSLA",
    "GOOGL",
    "AMZN"
  ],
  "mode": "quote",
  "range": "1mo",
  "interval": "1d",
  "maxSearchResults": 1,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true
  }
}
```
