# Morningstar Quote Scraper (`moving_beacon-owner1/morningstar-quote-scraper`) Actor Morningstar Quote Scraper is an Apify Actor that scrapes stock quote pages from Morningstar.com. It supports multiple tickers, extracts key market data like price, market cap, P/E ratio, dividend yield, and sector information, while preserving raw data for resilience against layout changes. - **URL**: https://apify.com/moving\_beacon-owner1/morningstar-quote-scraper.md - **Developed by:** [Jamshaid Arif](https://apify.com/moving_beacon-owner1) (community) - **Categories:** Developer tools, Automation, SEO tools - **Stats:** 2 total users, 1 monthly users, 100.0% runs succeeded, NaN bookmarks - **User rating**: No ratings yet ## Pricing from $10.00 / 1,000 results This Actor is paid per event.

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 ## Morningstar Quote Scraper Actor Scrapes Morningstar.com stock quote pages. ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Notes | |---|---|---|---| | `tickers` | array of strings | `["AAPL", "MSFT", "xnys:IBM"]` | **Required.** Each entry is either `TICKER` (uses the default exchange) or `EXCHANGE:TICKER`. | | `defaultExchange` | string | `xnas` | Morningstar MIC code (lowercase) used for any ticker without an exchange prefix. | | `scrollSteps` | int | `2` | Viewport-height scrolls per page. Some stats lazy-mount; 2 is usually enough. | | `headless` | bool | `true` | On Apify (Linux) the actor uses Xvfb regardless — leave true. | | `proxyConfiguration` | object | Apify Residential US | Datacenter proxies will fail. Residential US is the working configuration. | #### Exchange codes Morningstar uses MIC codes in lowercase: | Code | Exchange | |---|---| | `xnas` | NASDAQ | | `xnys` | NYSE | | `arcx` | NYSE Arca | | `bats` | Cboe BZX | | `xase` | NYSE American | | `xlon` | London Stock Exchange | | `xetr` | Xetra (Frankfurt) | | `xtks` | Tokyo Stock Exchange | ### Output One JSON record per ticker. Typed fields plus a catch-all `rawDataPoints` dict so layout changes don't lose data: | Field | Type | Notes | |---|---|---| | `ticker` | string | Symbol, uppercased. | | `exchange` | string | MIC code, lowercase. | | `url` | string | The exact URL scraped. | | `name` | string \| null | Company name. | | `price` | number \| null | Parsed price as a float. | | `priceText` | string \| null | Raw price text including currency symbol. | | `change` | number \| null | Absolute change, parsed. | | `changePercent` | number \| null | Percent change, parsed (e.g. `0.68` for +0.68%). | | `currency` | string \| null | Currency badge (e.g. `USD`). | | `marketCap` | string \| null | As displayed (e.g. `$2.79T`). | | `peRatio` | string \| null | P/E ratio. | | `dividendYield` | string \| null | Forward yield. | | `beta` | string \| null | 5-year beta. | | `fiftyTwoWeekRange` | string \| null | 52-week low–high. | | `volume` | string \| null | Last-session volume. | | `fairValue` | string \| null | Morningstar Fair Value Estimate. | | `starRating` | float \| null | 1–5 stars. | | `economicMoat` | string \| null | `None` / `Narrow` / `Wide`. | | `sector` | string \| null | Morningstar sector. | | `industry` | string \| null | Morningstar industry. | | `rawDataPoints` | object | Every `mdc-data-point` label/value on the page, slug-keyed. Backstop when a specific selector goes stale. | | `rawDataPointCount` | int | `Object.keys(rawDataPoints).length` — sanity-check for zero-fill rows. | | `error` | string \| null | Only set if navigation failed for this ticker. Other fields will be missing. | # # Actor input Schema ## `tickers` (type: `array`): List of stock symbols. Each entry is either 'TICKER' (uses the default exchange) or 'EXCHANGE:TICKER' (explicit). Common Morningstar exchange codes (lowercase MIC): xnas (NASDAQ), xnys (NYSE), arcx (NYSE Arca), bats (Cboe), xase (NYSE American), xlon (LSE), xetr (Xetra). Examples: 'AAPL', 'MSFT', 'xnys:IBM', 'xlon:HSBA'. ## `defaultExchange` (type: `string`): Used for any ticker that does not include an 'exchange:' prefix. Morningstar uses MIC codes in lowercase — 'xnas' for NASDAQ, 'xnys' for NYSE, etc. ## `scrollSteps` (type: `integer`): Viewport-height scrolls per ticker page after initial load. Some Morningstar stats lazy-mount below the fold; 2 is usually enough. ## `headless` (type: `boolean`): On Apify (Linux) the actor uses Xvfb regardless of this flag — leave true for cloud runs. ## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`): Morningstar uses Akamai. Apify Residential US is the working configuration; datacenter IPs typically get soft-blocked. ## Actor input object example ```json { "tickers": [ "AAPL", "MSFT", "xnys:IBM" ], "defaultExchange": "xnas", "scrollSteps": 2, "headless": true, "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": false } } ```` # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "tickers": [ "AAPL", "MSFT", "xnys:IBM" ], "defaultExchange": "xnas", "scrollSteps": 2, "headless": true }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("moving_beacon-owner1/morningstar-quote-scraper").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
