📈 Stock Market Scraper — Yahoo Finance Quotes, Fundamentals & Trends

Pull real-time stock prices, P/E ratios, market cap, dividend yield, 52-week ranges, analyst recommendations, and historical OHLC data from Yahoo Finance for any publicly traded ticker on NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, TSX, ASX, and 30+ global exchanges. Built as a cheaper, no-license alternative to Bloomberg Terminal ($24K/yr/seat), Refinitiv Eikon ($22K/yr/seat), FactSet, Capital IQ, and TradingView Premium ($60/mo) for portfolio dashboards, quant backtests, fintech apps, and AI-agent finance workflows.

Most quant / fintech teams pick this scraper because it is cheaper than a single day of a Bloomberg Terminal seat for an entire month of daily polls, the only drop-in alternative to the closed Refinitiv API for hobbyist + sub-enterprise budgets, and ships clean JSON that maps straight onto pandas DataFrames. A daily 500-ticker portfolio refresh = $2.51/day vs $2,000/month for an equivalent seat-licensed feed.

FAQ

Q: How fresh are the quotes? A: Yahoo Finance's public feed runs 15-min delayed during market hours. For most analytics + portfolio dashboards this is sufficient; sub-second tick data requires a paid market-data feed.

Q: Exchange coverage? A: NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, TSX, ASX, Euronext, Deutsche Börse, SIX, TSE, HKEX, SGX, BSE, NSE India and ~20 more. Suffix the ticker per Yahoo convention (e.g. BAS.DE, RELIANCE.NS).

Q: Historical depth? A: 20+ years for most US large-caps; varies by ticker (limited by what Yahoo serves).

Q: Anti-bot stability? A: Yahoo's public quote endpoint is stable; we add jitter + retry backoff for reliability at scale.

Q: Legal status? A: We fetch the same public quote pages a logged-out browser sees. Output is publicly available market data.

How NexGenData Pricing Works

Every NexGenData actor uses pay-per-event pricing — you only pay for results that actually land in your dataset. No monthly minimum, no seat fees, no surprise overage bills.

• Actor Start: a single-event charge each time you spin the actor up (scaled to memory size)
• Result / item: charged per item written to the default dataset
• No charge for retries, internal proxy rotation, or failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform
