Yahoo Finance Data Actor

Extract public Yahoo Finance quote metadata, historical OHLCV price bars, or symbol-search matches into an Apify dataset. Use it for market research, portfolio dashboards, backtesting inputs, and agent workflows that need compact structured finance records.

Operations

Operation	Required input	Output
quote	symbols	One current-market metadata record per symbol
history	symbols	Timestamped OHLCV bars using range and interval
search	query	Yahoo Finance symbol matches with name, exchange, type, sector, and industry when supplied

Example quote input:

{"operation":"quote","symbols":["AAPL","MSFT","BTC-USD"]}

Example history input:

{"operation":"history","symbols":["AAPL"],"range":"1y","interval":"1d","maxResults":500}

Output

Every dataset item has a recordType (quote, history, or search) and symbol. Quote and history records include market name, currency, exchange, and price fields. History records additionally include timestamp, open, high, low, close, and volume. Search records include shortName, quoteType, sector, and industry where Yahoo supplies them. A SUMMARY key-value record contains delivery counts and warnings.

Pricing

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005 per run
Dataset record	$0.0005 per delivered record

For example, a quote run for three symbols costs three record events plus the start event. The live Apify monetization configuration is authoritative.

Limits and reliability

The actor uses public Yahoo Finance chart and search endpoints with bounded requests and a 20-second per-request timeout. It does not log in, bypass challenges, or use private cookies. Yahoo may return empty results, rate-limit requests, or restrict intraday history based on its own retention rules; those conditions are reported in SUMMARY and the terminal status. Results are capped by maxResults (1–5,000) and symbols are capped at 50.
