## 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

## Morningstar Fund & ETF Scraper

Scrapes public Morningstar quote pages for mutual funds and ETFs. Each dataset item can include the fund name, ticker, ISIN, security ID, category, Morningstar ratings, price, currency, expense ratio, yield, assets, as-of text, and available performance periods.

### Input

- `startUrls`: public Morningstar quote or search URLs. Quote URLs are the most reliable input.
- `identifiers`: ticker or Morningstar security IDs. These are converted to US ETF or mutual-fund quote URLs according to `securityType`.
- `securityType`: `etf` or `mutual-fund` for identifier inputs.
- `maxResults`: 1–100 unique records.
- `useApifyProxy`: enables the Apify-managed US proxy by default.

Morningstar may challenge automated traffic or restrict some analysis to subscribers. The Actor reports a blocked or empty outcome in `SUMMARY` and does not fabricate records or bypass access controls. Data fields are only populated when exposed on the public page.

### Output and pricing

One valid dataset record is one `fund-record` PPE event at $0.03. The Actor writes a `SUMMARY` key-value record with result count, warnings, blocker state, and charged result events.

Example quote URL:

```text
https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/spy/quote
```

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

Optional public Morningstar quote, fund search, ETF search, or fund-family URLs. Example: https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/spy/quote. Other domains are ignored.

## `identifiers` (type: `array`):

Optional ticker or Morningstar security ID values. Use one value per line, such as SPY, VTI, or VTSAX. Quote URLs are preferred when a ticker is ambiguous.

## `securityType` (type: `string`):

When identifiers are supplied, choose whether to construct ETF or mutual-fund quote URLs. This does not override explicit startUrls.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum unique fund or ETF records to return. Use 1 for a cheap canary.

## `useApifyProxy` (type: `boolean`):

Use an Apify-managed proxy session for Morningstar browser requests. Proxy access does not bypass a challenge or paywall.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/spy/quote"
    }
  ],
  "identifiers": [
    "SPY",
    "VTI"
  ],
  "securityType": "etf",
  "maxResults": 10,
  "useApifyProxy": true
}
```

# 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 = {
    "startUrls": [
        {
            "url": "https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/spy/quote"
        }
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("muhammadafzal/morningstar-fund-etf-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);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "startUrls": [{ "url": "https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/spy/quote" }] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("muhammadafzal/morningstar-fund-etf-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.morningstar.com/etfs/xnas/spy/quote"
    }
  ]
}' |
apify call muhammadafzal/morningstar-fund-etf-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,muhammadafzal/morningstar-fund-etf-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
