Morningstar Fund & ETF Scraper
Scrape mutual fund and ETF data from Morningstar, up to a million records per run. Collect performance metrics, ratings, fees, and category details for US funds and ETFs. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
Morningstar's website is the standard for fund research, but manually pulling data for hundreds of funds is slow and repetitive. This scraper reads the public fund and ETF listings directly, letting you filter by asset type and category. You get a structured dataset without writing a single line of code.
| Who uses it | What they scrape Morningstar for |
|---|---|
| Financial advisors | Building a shortlist of top-rated funds in a specific category for client portfolios. |
| Individual investors | Comparing expense ratios and performance across all funds in a category. |
| Data analysts | Feeding a fund screening model with up-to-date Morningstar metrics. |
| Fintech product teams | Populating an investment product database with standardized fund data. |

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your category filter spelling. It must match a Morningstar category name exactly, such as 'Large Blend'. Try leaving the category field blank to confirm results exist for the selected asset type.
The run finished but returned fewer records than my maxItems setting.
The Actor stops when it has collected all available funds matching your filters. If Morningstar lists fewer funds in that category than your maxItems value, you will receive all of them.
Some fields are empty in my output.
Morningstar does not populate every field for every fund. If a metric is not reported by the fund or not tracked by Morningstar, that cell will be blank in your dataset.
The scraper is timing out or running slowly.
Try reducing the maxItems value. Large runs with hundreds of thousands of records take more time. You can also split your work into multiple smaller runs by category.
Can I scrape a specific fund by ticker?
This Actor does not accept ticker symbols as input. It collects funds by asset type and category. Use the category filter to narrow results to the peer group containing your target fund.
