Company, exchange, currency, market capitalization, valuation, earnings, dividend yield, sector, and industry fields are included when Yahoo Finance provides them.

❓ FAQ

Do I need ticker symbols for Market overview?

No. Choose marketOverview and leave the ticker list out of the request. The Actor selects its major-stock view.

What happens when a ticker or optional field is not available?

The source may not resolve every submitted symbol or provide every optional field. The dataset contains the quote rows and fields that Yahoo Finance returns.

Are these guaranteed real-time quotes?

No. The Actor returns current quote data available from Yahoo Finance, but it does not promise a real-time feed or exchange-certified data. Use marketTime when Yahoo Finance provides it.

Can I get historical prices or OHLCV data?

No. This Actor focuses on current quote records and a market overview. It does not provide historical time series.

Can I use this as the Yahoo Finance API?

You can call this Actor through the Apify API to retrieve Yahoo Finance stock data. It is not a promise of an official Yahoo Finance API, a guaranteed real-time feed, or investment advice.

Can one run use both retrieval modes?

No. Choose one result type for each run: one ticker list for stockQuotes, or marketOverview without symbols.

Does this Actor give investment advice?

No. It returns source data for research and workflows. It does not recommend buying, selling, or holding a security.
