📈 Stock Market Scraper — Yahoo Finance quotes for any ticker

Pull a live Yahoo Finance quote for any publicly traded ticker on NYSE, NASDAQ, LSE, TSX, ASX and 30+ other exchanges: last price, previous close, day open / high / low, volume, 52-week range, exchange and currency — as flat JSON, CSV or Excel. One row per ticker, pay per row, no seat licence and no API key.

Pricing — the live, current prices

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.00005 (per GB of run memory, minimum one)
Result row in the dataset	$0.02

One ticker that resolves = one row = $0.02.

Worked examples at the live price:

• 100-ticker watchlist refresh = $0.00005 + (100 × $0.02) = $2.00005
• a 50-ticker daily pulse = $1.00005/day
• a single ticker check = $0.02005

You are not charged for:

• a ticker Yahoo does not recognise or that has been delisted — it produces no row
• a ticker that could not be read because Yahoo rate-limited the run — it produces no row
• retries, proxy rotation and failed sub-requests — those are absorbed by the platform

No monthly minimum, no seats.

What you get per ticker

Field	Source	Notes
symbol, name	quote endpoint	always present
currentPrice, previousClose	quote endpoint	always present
open, dayHigh, dayLow, volume	quote endpoint	always present
fiftyTwoWeekHigh, fiftyTwoWeekLow	quote endpoint	always present
exchange, currency	quote endpoint	always present
changePercent, marketTime, scrapedAt	quote endpoint	always present
marketCap, averageVolume	fundamentals endpoint	may be null — see below
trailingPE, forwardPE, trailingEps, dividendYield	fundamentals endpoint	may be null
sector, industry, summary	fundamentals endpoint	may be null / ""

Why some fundamentals can come back null

Yahoo serves quote data from an open endpoint, but puts market cap, P/E, EPS, dividend yield, sector, industry and the business summary behind a session-cookie + crumb handshake that is aggressively rate-limited for cloud IP ranges. This Actor always delivers the quote fields, then tries the fundamentals handshake best-effort. If Yahoo throttles that handshake for your run's IP, those fields stay null and the run's status message says so explicitly. Nothing is ever guessed or filled with a stale value.

Rerunning with the Apify residential proxy enabled greatly improves the odds of getting the fundamentals block.

Input

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
tickers	array	—	Ticker symbols, e.g. ["AAPL", "GOOGL"]. Aliases: ticker, symbols, symbol; comma- or newline-separated strings also work.
includeFundamentals	boolean	true	Attempt the market-cap / P/E / sector lookup. Turn it off for a faster quotes-only run.
proxyConfiguration	object	Apify proxy	Used automatically on retry when Yahoo throttles the run's IP.

Quick start (Python)

from apify_client import ApifyClient
client = ApifyClient("YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/stock-market-scraper").call(run_input={
    "tickers": ["AAPL", "GOOGL", "MSFT", "NVDA", "TSLA"]
})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item["symbol"], item["currentPrice"], item["trailingPE"])

Example row (real shape, from a live run):

{
  "symbol": "AAPL",
  "name": "Apple Inc.",
  "currentPrice": 319.97,
  "previousClose": 328.21,
  "open": 328.31,
  "dayHigh": 328.93,
  "dayLow": 317.86,
  "fiftyTwoWeekHigh": 344.57,
  "fiftyTwoWeekLow": 225.95,
  "volume": 38272821,
  "marketCap": 4669700046848,
  "averageVolume": 54390470,
  "trailingPE": 37.6,
  "forwardPE": 33.42,
  "trailingEps": 8.51,
  "dividendYield": 0.0033,
  "sector": "Technology",
  "industry": "Consumer Electronics",
  "exchange": "NMS",
  "currency": "USD",
  "changePercent": -2.511,
  "marketTime": "2026-09-05T20:00:01Z"
}

How the run ends

The Actor always says what happened, in plain English, in the run's status message:

• Rows returned — "Returned N of M ticker(s)…", plus how many symbols were not found and whether the fundamentals endpoint was throttled. Only delivered rows were charged.
• No such symbols — the run succeeds with 0 rows and names the symbols Yahoo did not recognise. Nothing was charged.
• Yahoo blocked the run — the run fails with a message naming the HTTP status. Nothing was charged. Retry with the residential proxy enabled.
• No input — the run succeeds with 0 rows and names the field to supply (tickers). Nothing was charged.
• Time limit — the run stops cleanly and says it stopped early at the run time limit; only rows already delivered were charged.

Use cases

• Portfolio dashboards — refresh a watchlist into Sheets, Notion or Airtable on a schedule
• AI agent grounding — feed an assistant a daily snapshot of a watchlist
• Investment newsletters — auto-populate a "what moved today" table
• Fintech prototypes — a quote layer without a seat-licensed market-data contract
• Screeners — pull a few hundred symbols and filter on P/E, market cap or 52-week position

FAQ

Q: Is the price real-time? A: It is Yahoo's regular-market quote, standard exchange delay (typically 15 minutes for US equities). marketTime tells you exactly which tick the row reflects.

Q: Does it return historical OHLC series? A: No. Each row is a current-day snapshot: previous close plus today's open, high, low, volume.

Q: Are analyst ratings or price targets included? A: No — this Actor does not return analyst recommendations or target prices.

Q: Why was one of my tickers missing from the dataset? A: Either Yahoo does not recognise it (delisted, wrong suffix for a non-US listing) or it could not be read. The status message and the run's OUTPUT record separate the two, and neither case is charged.

Q: Non-US tickers? A: Use Yahoo's suffix form — SAP.DE, BARC.L, SHOP.TO, BHP.AX.
