# Stock quotes by company name: look up tickers on Yahoo Finance

**Use case:** 

Type company names instead of tickers: each name is looked up with Yahoo Finance search and the row shows the matched ticker, company name and exchange, the latest price and the change from the previous close. Example: Berkshire Hathaway, Visa, Walmart, Costco, Netflix.

## About this Actor

This example demonstrates how to use [Yahoo Finance Stock Price Scraper - Quotes, History & Dividends](https://apify.com/neverempty/yahoo-finance-stock-price-scraper.md) with a specific input configuration.

## How to integrate an Actor?

This Task's input is already configured above. Use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For full API examples (JavaScript, Python, CLI, MCP, OpenAPI), see this Task's Actor page: https://apify.com/neverempty/yahoo-finance-stock-price-scraper.md

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).
