Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check that your ticker symbols are in the correct format, such as "aapl.us". Also ensure that maxItems is set to at least 1.
Why are some tickers missing from the output?
The Actor skips tickers that return no data from the source. Verify the ticker symbol and try again.
Why is the data delayed?
IEX and Stooq public endpoints may have a delay of a few minutes. For real-time data, you would need a paid feed.
Why did the run fail with a timeout?
If you are requesting a very large number of tickers, try increasing the run timeout or splitting the list into smaller batches.
Can I get historical data?
This Actor returns current quotes only. For historical data, you would need a different source or API.
