Yahoo Finance Stock Data API & Stock Price Scraper

Fetch point-in-time quotes and historical price data from Yahoo Finance for ticker symbols available through its public chart endpoint. Each paid symbol row includes nested OHLCV (Open, High, Low, Close, Volume) history, quote metadata, exact source URL, and fetch time.

Use stocks (AAPL), ETFs (SPY), cryptocurrencies (BTC-USD), forex (EURUSD=X), commodities (GC=F), or market indices (^GSPC). No Yahoo API key or proxy is required.

What data do you get?

Field	Description
Symbol and names	Ticker plus short/long instrument names when Yahoo reports them
Instrument metadata	Currency, exchange, exchange code, instrument type, and timezone
Quote metadata	Regular-market price, previous completed interval close, chart previous close, and 52-week range
OHLCV history	Nested date/time, open, high, low, close, and volume points for the requested range/interval
Provenance	Exact Yahoo chart URL, UTC fetch time, requested date range, granularity, and data-point count

Yahoo can omit fields for some instruments or intervals. Missing/zero source values are not proof that a security, price, or volume does not exist.

Use cases

• Investment research -- Analyze price trends, volatility, and trading patterns for any stock
• Quantitative analysis -- Feed OHLCV data into algorithmic trading models and backtesting systems
• Portfolio tracking -- Monitor multiple stocks, ETFs, and crypto positions
• Financial research support -- Export source-linked historical price observations for further review
• Academic research -- Bulk price data for finance and economics research
• Market screening -- Compare price performance across sectors and indices

How to use

1. Enter one or more ticker symbols (e.g., AAPL, MSFT, BTC-USD)
2. Choose a date range (1 day to max history) and data interval (1 minute to 3 months)
3. Run the actor and get structured JSON with full OHLCV price history

The default AAPL / one-month / daily run returns one paid dataset item and costs at most $0.0021.

Pricing

$0.002 per returned symbol plus the actor-start event (minimum $0.0001). Example maximum charges at the default memory:

Returned symbol rows	Maximum charge
1 (default)	$0.0021
10	$0.0201
50	$0.1001
500	$1.0001

maxResults is a total symbol-row cap. Each paid row includes all nested history returned for that symbol. There is no subscription; the actor-start event is the per-run minimum.

Input parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
symbols	string[]	["AAPL"]	Ticker symbols to fetch. Supports stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, indices, and commodities available from Yahoo's chart endpoint.
dateRange	string	"1mo"	Date range for historical data. Options: 1d, 5d, 1mo, 3mo, 6mo, 1y, 2y, 5y, 10y, ytd, max.
interval	string	"1d"	Data point interval. Options: 1m, 2m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 90m, 1h, 1d, 5d, 1wk, 1mo, 3mo. Intraday intervals only work with short date ranges (1d-5d).
maxResults	integer	1	Total paid symbol-row cap, from 1 to 500. Apify's maximum-total-charge setting can lower it further.

Supported date range and interval combinations

Date Range	Compatible Intervals
1d, 5d	1m, 2m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 90m, 1h, 1d
1mo	5m, 15m, 30m, 60m, 90m, 1h, 1d, 1wk
3mo, 6mo	1d, 5d, 1wk, 1mo

Pricing

This actor uses pay-per-result pricing on Apify:

• Per returned symbol: $0.002, including its nested price history
• Actor start: $0.0001 per GB, with one minimum event
• Default first run: one symbol, up to $0.0021 total

If a buyer sets a maximum-total-charge budget, the actor trims the total symbol count before fetching. Bulk output is persisted in size-bounded batches rather than one oversized dataset request.

Data source and interpretation limits

Data comes from Yahoo Finance's public chart endpoint. Availability and retention vary by symbol, instrument, exchange, range, and interval.

• Results are point-in-time publisher observations, not exchange-certified records, a live feed, or investment advice.
• regularMarketPrice may be delayed. fetchedAt records collection time, not the market timestamp or guaranteed freshness.
• Pre/post-market data is excluded. Historical rows contain the chart endpoint's OHLCV values; this actor does not return adjusted close, dividends, splits, fundamentals, earnings, or financial statements.
• Missing fields, zero values, or an empty interval do not prove that a security or market fact does not exist.
• Symbol formats and historical availability can change upstream. Verify material decisions against an exchange, issuer filing, or licensed market-data source.

FAQ

May I use this data? The actor accesses a public Yahoo Finance endpoint without bypassing authentication. Buyers remain responsible for Yahoo's terms, downstream licensing, and laws that apply to their use case.

Do I need an API key? No. No authentication required.

How fast is it? A single stock with 1 year of daily data completes in under 2 seconds. Multiple symbols are processed with rate limiting for reliability.

Can I get real-time data? No guarantee is made that the result is real time. regularMarketPrice is the most recent value Yahoo publishes in the response and may be delayed. For intraday observations, use a short range with a compatible minute interval.

What about after-hours data? Pre/post-market data is not included. Only regular market session data.

Can I get fundamental data (P/E, revenue, etc.)? This actor focuses on price/volume data. For fundamental company data, use our SEC EDGAR Company Filings actor.
