Cnbc Tv Schedule Scraper

What does CNBC TV Schedule Scraper do?

CNBC TV Schedule Scraper fetches CNBC's live and upcoming TV schedule — what's on right now and what's coming up next — in a single batch run.

It talks directly to the same internal API the official CNBC Android app uses (webql.cnbcfm.com), reverse-engineered by live MITM capture against a real device — a real Apollo-style GraphQL persisted query (showsSchedule, exact query hash captured live, never guessed). No CNBC account, no API key, no scraping setup. This is the TV-schedule slice of CNBC All-in-One API, split out as its own focused Actor.

Why use CNBC TV Schedule Scraper?

• Real live-TV data, no scraping the site — the same feed the CNBC app itself reads, straight from the source
• No account needed — confirmed anonymous: no Authorization header, no cookie, no session token in the captured request
• Zero configuration — no input required, just run it
• Use cases: "on air now" widgets, program-alert bots, media-monitoring dashboards

How it connects to the parent

This Actor is a narrow spin-off of CNBC All-in-One API, which exposes CNBC's full reverse-engineered API surface (news, trending, articles, video, quotes, fundamentals, and more) as an always-on Standby endpoint. This Actor wraps only the parent's GET /tv-schedule endpoint (the showsSchedule operation) as a plain batch Actor — run it, get one dataset row back, no Standby mode needed.

Input

No input required. Running with default (empty) input fetches today's schedule.

Output

One dataset row containing the real, unmodified showsSchedule response. Example (fields trimmed for readability):

{
    "schedule": {
        "currDate": "2026-08-20",
        "live": {
            "shortTitle": "Closing Bell",
            "startTimeFormatted": "03:00 pm",
            "endTimeFormatted": "04:00 pm"
        }
    }
}

Known limitations

• No pagination exists for this feed. Per the parent Actor's README: this is a fixed-size bounded schedule listing (today's live show plus what's next), not an infinite-scroll feed — there's no offset/cursor to page through, and none was found in the app itself.
• No date parameter. The upstream operation takes no variables — it always returns the current day's schedule, not an arbitrary date.
• This is an unofficial, reverse-engineered integration, not affiliated with or endorsed by CNBC or NBCUniversal. Behavior may change if CNBC changes its API.

Pricing

Pay per event. Charged schedule-fetch ($0.002 on the FREE plan) once per run. See the Actor's Pricing tab for current rates.
