Yahoo Finance Scraper — Stocks, ETFs, Crypto & Forex Data API

Scrape live quotes, historical prices, fundamentals, and news for stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex, and indices from Yahoo Finance — by ticker, in one run, with no API key. The pay-per-result alternative to paid market-data APIs.

What can this Actor do?

For any ticker (AAPL, SPY, BTC-USD, EURUSD=X, ^GSPC), pull any of:

• Live quote — price, change %, day high/low, 52-week range, volume, market state.
• Historical prices (OHLCV) — open/high/low/close/adjusted-close/volume, any interval (1m → 1mo) and range (1d → max).
• Fundamentals / financials — market cap, P/E, EPS, margins, revenue & growth, cash, debt, ROE, analyst target & recommendation, sector, industry, employees.
• Dividends & splits — full dividend payment history and stock-split history per ticker.
• Earnings & estimates — next earnings date, analyst EPS/revenue estimates, and beat/miss history.
• News — latest headlines per ticker with publisher and timestamp.
• Ownership — institutional & fund holders, insider transactions, and net-insider activity.
• Analyst ratings & estimates — recommendation trend over time, upgrades/downgrades, price targets, growth estimates.
• Market screeners — discover stocks without a ticker: day gainers/losers, most active, undervalued growth, and more.

Plus symbol search to look up tickers by company name.

How do I get stock data?

1. Add your symbols (e.g. AAPL, BTC-USD).
2. Pick the data to fetch (quote / history / fundamentals / news).
3. Run it — one clean JSON/CSV row per result, ready for your spreadsheet, dashboard, backtest, or AI agent.

How much does it cost?

Pay-per-result — no subscription, a fraction of paid market-data APIs:

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.01
Per symbol/data result	$0.004
Symbol search	$0.004
