FAQ

Q: Is the data real-time? Standard Yahoo Finance ~15-minute delayed quotes for U.S. equities. Fundamentals and history are point-in-time.

Q: What tickers are supported? Everything Yahoo Finance lists — U.S. exchanges, plus a wide set of international (LSE, TSX, ASX, HKEX, TSE, KRX, etc.).

Q: Output formats? JSON, JSONL, CSV, Excel, RSS, XML — Apify dataset standard.

Q: How is this different from the official Yahoo Finance API? There is no official Yahoo Finance API anymore — Yahoo deprecated it in 2017. This actor maintains structured access to the same data.

Q: Can I use this output commercially? Yes — you own the output. Yahoo's ToS governs the source; for most non-redistribution commercial uses (internal research, signals, dashboards) this is widely-accepted practice.

Q: Rate limits? Apify proxy rotation handles back-off. Plenty of users pull 10K+ tickers per job without issue.

Q: Real-time available? For real-time licensed feeds, contact NexGenData. Most teams find the ~15-min delayed feed sufficient.

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: 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

If you only need the data once a quarter, you only pay once a quarter. If you scale to millions of records, the unit cost stays the same.
