Tiingo Public Data Scraper

Tiingo Public Data Scraper

Scrape Tiingo public data for any ticker, exchange, or asset type, up to a million records per run. Each record comes with its ticker, exchange, asset type, and other public metadata. No API key required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.

Tiingo's official API requires an account and an API key for access. This scraper reads the public data feeds directly, filtered by exchange, asset type, or a specific ticker symbol, and returns each match in one fixed schema. No registration, no rate-limit headaches.

Troubleshooting

Why am I getting no results?

Your filter combination may be too restrictive. Try removing the ticker filter or setting the asset type to 'Any' to broaden the search. Also, verify the exchange code is valid for Tiingo.

The run finished but returned fewer records than my maxItems setting.

The maxItems value is an upper limit. The scraper returns only the records that match your filters. If the total available records for your criteria is less than maxItems, you will receive that smaller number.

I got an error about an invalid exchange code.

Ensure the exchange code is one that Tiingo recognizes, such as NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, or LSE. The code is case-sensitive, so use uppercase letters.

The data seems outdated or stale.

The scraper fetches a live snapshot on each run. If the data appears unchanged, it may reflect that Tiingo's public feed has not been updated. Try running the Actor again later.

Can I get data for OTC or international exchanges?

The scraper supports any exchange code that Tiingo's public endpoint recognizes. If you are unsure of the code, run the Actor without an exchange filter first to see all available codes in the results.
