## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## African Stock Market Data — NGX, JSE, NSE, GSE + 12 More Exchanges

Structured JSON market data for **15+ African stock exchanges** — Nigeria (NGX), Johannesburg (JSE),
Nairobi (NSE), Ghana (GSE), Egypt (EGX), Casablanca (CSE), BRVM (West Africa), Zimbabwe (ZSE),
and more. Quotes, full ticker lists, daily price history, top movers, and benchmark indices.

### Datasets

| Dataset | What you get |
|---|---|
| `exchanges` | All supported exchanges with codes and metadata |
| `stocks` | Full ticker list for one exchange |
| `quote` | Latest price for specific ticker(s) |
| `history` | Daily OHLC price history for specific ticker(s) |
| `movers` | Top gainers & losers for one exchange |
| `indices` | Benchmark indices (NGX ASI, JSE All Share, NSE 20...) |
| `search` | Find tickers/companies across all exchanges |

### Use cases

- **AI agents & LLM apps** — reliable African market data as a tool call (works great via MCP).
- **Analysts & researchers** — frontier/emerging market coverage global vendors skip.
- **Fintech & portfolio apps** — quotes and history for African equities.
- **Screeners, dashboards, newsletters** — movers and indices per exchange.

### Output example (quote)

```json
{
  "ticker": "DANGCEM",
  "exchange": "NGX",
  "name": "Dangote Cement Plc",
  "price": 478.8,
  "currency": "NGN",
  "change_percent": 1.2,
  "retrieved_at": "2026-08-04T21:04:00.000Z"
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per data row returned. Heavy/programmatic users: get a subscription key directly at
[Mansa API](https://mansaapi.com) (the data layer behind this actor) — cheaper at volume, plus
fundamentals, dividends calendars, bond yields, T-bills, FX and macro endpoints not exposed here.

### Coverage notes

Prices update intraday-to-daily depending on exchange. Powered by
[Mansa API](https://mansaapi.com) — African market data infrastructure.

# Actor input Schema

## `dataset` (type: `string`):

Which data to fetch.

## `exchangeCode` (type: `string`):

e.g. NGX (Nigeria), JSE (South Africa), NSE (Kenya), GSE (Ghana), EGX (Egypt). Required for stocks/quote/history/movers/indices. Run the 'exchanges' dataset to list all codes.

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

Ticker symbols for quote/history, e.g. DANGCEM, MTNN (NGX).

## `query` (type: `string`):

For the 'search' dataset: company name or ticker fragment.

## `apiKey` (type: `string`):

Bring your own key from mansaapi.com for higher limits. Leave empty to use the actor's built-in access.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "dataset": "quote",
  "exchangeCode": "NGX",
  "tickers": [
    "DANGCEM"
  ]
}
```

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "exchangeCode": "NGX",
    "tickers": [
        "DANGCEM"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("mansalabs/african-stock-market-data").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);
