Holidays Calendar Data (Investing.com) 🗓️📈

Scrape the stock market holidays calendar from Investing.com and get a clean, structured feed of every exchange closure, trading holiday, and market-closed day for 80+ countries — no browser, no proxies, no captchas to fight.

This Actor is built for financial analysts, traders, quant/algo teams, fintech products, and anyone who needs to know when a stock exchange is closed so they can plan trades, settlements, backtests, or reports around it.

Why use this Actor?

• Global coverage — pulls holiday/closure data for major exchanges across the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa (US, UK, Germany, France, Japan, China, India, Brazil, and 70+ more).
• Date-range filtering — request a single day, a month, or a custom range instead of scraping the whole calendar.
• Country filtering — narrow results down to one country/exchange at a time, or omit the filter to get every market.
• Clean, ready-to-use JSON — every run returns tidy rows (date, country, exchange, holiday name) plus an aggregated run summary, so you can pipe results straight into a spreadsheet, database, or trading system.
• No maintenance overhead — Investing.com's markup changes are handled for you; you just call the Actor and get data back.
• Built on the Apify platform — schedule runs, trigger via API/webhooks, export to CSV/JSON/Excel, or integrate with Zapier, Make, and 1,000+ other tools.

What data do you get?

Each dataset item represents one market holiday / exchange closure:

Field	Type	Description
date	string	Calendar date of the holiday/closure
country	string	Country whose exchange observes the holiday
exchange	string	Name of the stock exchange/market that is closed
holiday	string	Name of the holiday or reason for the closure
retrieved_at	string	ISO 8601 timestamp of when the row was scraped
data_type	string	holidays_calendar_event for real rows, error for an error placeholder

At the end of each run, the Actor also writes a run summary record to the key-value store with the total number of events found, the list of unique countries and exchanges seen, and whether any data was returned. See the Output tab on this Actor for the full Dataset, Key-value store, and Output schemas, plus an OpenAPI definition of the underlying Apify Run API.

Use cases

• Trade & settlement planning — know in advance which exchanges are closed so orders, transfers, and settlements aren't scheduled on non-trading days.
• Algorithmic trading & backtesting — exclude holiday/closure dates from strategy backtests and live trading calendars automatically.
• Fintech products & broker apps — power an in-app "market status" or "next trading day" widget with always-current holiday data.
• Portfolio & risk reporting — align reporting periods and cut-off dates with actual trading days per market.
• Research & compliance teams — maintain an audit trail of exchange holidays across multiple jurisdictions.

Frequently asked questions

Which countries/exchanges are supported? 80+ countries are supported, including the United States, United Kingdom, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Switzerland, Japan, China, India, Brazil, Australia, Canada, and many more. Leave the country field empty to retrieve all of them in one run.

What date format should I use? Use YYYY-MM-DD for fromDate and toDate (e.g. 2026-03-01). If you don't set a date range, the current period is used.

What happens if no holidays match my filters? The Actor still finishes successfully and writes a single error-type row plus a run summary with has_data: false, so your downstream pipeline can detect the empty case without failing.

Can I get this data on a schedule / pushed to my database? Yes — set up an Apify Schedule and pair it with an Integration or Webhook to push results to Google Sheets, a database, Slack, or your own API automatically.

Is this data official? Data is scraped from the publicly available holidays calendar on Investing.com and is provided as-is for informational purposes; always confirm critical trading/settlement dates with your broker or exchange.
