Finviz Stock Screener Scraper

Finviz Stock Screener Scraper

Scrape Finviz stock screener results for any filter combination, up to a million rows per run. Each stock comes with its price, valuation, fundamentals, technicals, and ownership data. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Finviz's stock screener is the fastest way to scan the US market, but the website limits you to 20 rows per page and manual exports. This Actor reads the public screener directly, applies your filters, and returns every match in one flat dataset. You can screen by ticker, exchange, index, sector, industry, country, market cap, or any raw Finviz filter expression.

What it does

Results export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML, or straight from the API.

What you can do with Finviz data

📈 Build a daily momentum watchlist.

🔎 Screen for undervalued dividend payers.

A portfolio manager filters for large-cap stocks with a dividend yield above 3% and a P/E below 15, then exports the list to CSV for further analysis.

🧪 Backtest a quantitative strategy.

A quant analyst pulls the full S&P 500 with 70+ enriched fields every day and feeds the dataset into a backtesting engine to validate a factor model.

📊 Monitor insider activity.

 "AAPL",
 "MSFT",
 "NVDA",
 "TSLA",
 "META"

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Your filters may be too restrictive. Try removing some filters or using a broader signal preset. Also check that your tickers are valid US symbols and that the market cap bucket matches your expectations.

The run is slow when I enable enrichment.

Enrichment fetches one additional page per ticker, so a run with 500 tickers will take longer. Reduce the number of tickers or disable enrichment if you only need the screener columns.

Some tickers are missing from the enriched output.

Finviz may not have a dedicated quote page for every symbol, especially delisted or very new stocks. The Actor skips those and returns the basic screener data for the rest.

My custom raw filter is not working.

Make sure the expression is comma-separated and does not include the leading 'f='. For example, use 'fa_pe_low20,ta_sma200_pa' not 'f=fa_pe_low20,ta_sma200_pa'.

The output has fewer rows than I expected.

Check the 'Maximum stocks' setting. It defaults to 10, so if you want the full screen, set it to a higher number, up to 1,000,000.

FAQ

Question	Answer
Does this Actor require a Finviz API key?	No. It reads the public Finviz screener directly, so there is no registration, API key, or rate limit to manage.
How many stocks can I scrape in one run?	You can collect up to 1,000,000 stocks per run. The Finviz universe is about 11,000 US-listed stocks, so one run can cover the entire market.
Can I use my own Finviz screener URL?	This Actor does not accept a screener URL. Instead, you build the equivalent screen with the input fields: tickers, signal preset, exchange, index, sector, industry, country, market cap, and raw custom filters.
What is the difference between the basic and enriched output?	The basic output returns the screener's standard columns: ticker, company, sector, industry, country, market cap, price, volume, and key ratios. If you enable 'Enrich with full quote data', the Actor also fetches each ticker's dedicated Finviz quote page and merges 70+ additional fields, including detailed fundamentals, technicals, ownership, and analyst ratings.
Can I filter by technical indicators like RSI or moving averages?	Yes. Use the 'Custom raw filters' field to append any Finviz filter expression, such as ta_rsi_oversold or ta_sma200_pa. These are combined with the dropdown filters using AND logic.
How do I sort the results?	Use the 'Sort by' dropdown to choose from 40+ columns, including market cap, P/E, RSI, performance, volume, and more. Set the sort direction to ascending or descending.
Can I restrict the screen to a specific list of tickers?	Yes. Enter up to about 500 tickers in the 'Tickers' field. The Actor will only return those symbols, with all other filters still applied.
Does this Actor work for non-US stocks?	Finviz primarily covers US-listed stocks. You can filter by country of headquarters, but the screener universe is US exchanges (NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, CBOE).
What output formats are supported?	The Actor exports to CSV, JSON, Excel, and XML. You can also use the Apify API to get the data as JSON directly.
Is the data real-time?	Finviz screener data is delayed by up to 15 minutes during market hours. The Actor returns the latest available snapshot at the time of the run.
Can I schedule this Actor to run daily?	Yes. Use Apify's scheduler to run the Actor at any interval, such as every morning before market open, and store the results in a dataset or push them to a webhook.
