📈 Alpha Vantage Public Market Data Scraper

🚀 Export Alpha Vantage market data in seconds. Daily, intraday, FX, crypto, and technical indicators - direct from the public alphavantage.co/query endpoint to CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

The Alpha Vantage Public Market Data Scraper turns the alphavantage.co public REST endpoint into a clean, structured dataset. It calls the /query endpoint with whichever function you select - TIME_SERIES_DAILY, GLOBAL_QUOTE, CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE, SMA, OVERVIEW, and more - parses the JSON response, and flattens it into one row per data point.

You can either bring your own free Alpha Vantage API key (recommended for production - get one for free at alphavantage.co/support/#api-key) or rely on the public demo key (very limited, only specific symbols work).

📋 What the Alpha Vantage Public Market Data Scraper does

• Calls https://www.alphavantage.co/query with the function and parameters you supply.
• Parses the JSON response, locates the time-series block, and flattens each timestamp into a row.
• Cleans Alpha Vantage's verbose keys (1. open → open, 5. volume → volume).
• Casts numeric fields to numbers so they import cleanly into Excel and BI tools.
• Surfaces Alpha Vantage's rate-limit and error notes as a single-row error record instead of crashing.
• Exports as CSV, Excel, JSON, JSONL, XML, RSS, or HTML.

💡 Why it matters: Alpha Vantage is one of the few financial APIs with a generous free tier, but its JSON responses use awkward numbered keys like 1. open and 5. volume that break most data tools. This actor normalizes everything to clean snake_case so the data drops straight into pandas, BigQuery, or a Google Sheet.

📊 Data fields

Each record includes: close, date, function, high, low, open, results, scrapedAt, symbol, volume. These field names come straight from the actor's dataset schema, so what you see here is what lands in your dataset.

⚠️ Good to Know: The public demo API key only returns data for a small set of demo symbols (IBM, AAPL, MSFT). For anything else, grab a free key at alphavantage.co/support/#api-key and pass it via the apiKey input. Free Alpha Vantage keys are rate-limited to 25 requests per day.

🚀 How to use

1. Click Try for free.
2. Pick a function and symbol (or leave defaults - TIME_SERIES_DAILY + IBM work with the public demo key).
3. (Optional) Paste your own free Alpha Vantage key in apiKey for higher limits and any symbol.
4. Click Start. Within seconds, your dataset is ready - download as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML, or pipe to your warehouse.
