✅ Output Format

The actor pushes each stock record to the Apify dataset in the following structure:

{
  "country": "united states",
  "name": "Boeing",
  "symbol": "BA",
  "last": 218.52,
  "high": 220.0,
  "low": 214.72,
  "change": "-0.11",
  "change_percentage": "-0.05%",
  "turnover": 6770000.0,
  "currency": "USD",
  "retrieved_at": "2025-07-09T09:00:18.847563",
  "data_type": "stock_overview"
}

Additionally, a summary object is saved under the key stocks_overview_summary using Actor.set_value():

{
  "country": "united states",
  "n_results": 100,
  "has_data": true,
  "retrieved_at": "2025-07-09T09:00:18.847563",
  "data_format": "list",
  "total_stocks": 100,
  "currencies": ["USD"],
  "sectors_count": 8,
  "avg_stock_price": 103.55,
  "highest_stock_price": 570.1,
  "lowest_stock_price": 3.2,
  "stocks_with_positive_change": 53,
  "stocks_with_negative_change": 47,
  "market_sentiment": "positive",
  "top_performers": [
    {
      "name": "Company A",
      "symbol": "CMPA",
      "change_percentage": "7.12%"
    },

}

📥 How It Works

1. Input Retrieval: Accepts a country and optional nResults (max 1000).

2. Validation: Checks that input types and values are valid.

3. Data Fetching: Calls get_stocks_overview() to retrieve data.

4. Data Storage: Stores each record in the dataset.

5. Summary Generation: Calculates:

   • Number of stocks
   • Average, highest, and lowest stock prices
   • Count of stocks with price increase/decrease
   • Market sentiment analysis
   • Top 5 performing stocks

6. Error Handling: Captures and logs detailed error types (ValueError, IOError, etc.) with metadata.

⚠️ Error Handling

If any error occurs, a record with data_type: "error" is pushed, including:

{
  "country": "france",
  "n_results": 100,
  "error_type": "ConnectionError",
  "error_message": "Connection timed out",
  "retrieved_at": "2025-07-09T09:00:18.847563",
  "data_type": "error"
}

In addition, Actor.fail() is called to mark the run as failed.
