How it works

flowchart LR
    A[Symbol or category or tag] --> B[Build TradingView ideas URL]
    B --> C[Open the public SPA<br/>no auth needed]
    C --> D[Paginate the ideas grid<br/>respect maxIdeasPerSource]
    D --> E[Anchor on chart link pattern<br/>walk to article card]
    E --> F[Parse title, symbol, direction,<br/>timeframe, likes, views]
    F --> G[Lazy fetch author intel<br/>once per unique author]
    G --> H[Embed author intel into row]
    H --> I[Push one row per idea]
    I --> J[(JSON CSV Excel API)]

The actor anchors extraction on the public /chart/<chartId>/<slug>/ link pattern that TradingView renders on every idea card. That keeps it resilient to the React class name churn that breaks most TradingView scrapers within weeks. Author intel is fetched once per unique author and embedded onto every idea row from that author.

FAQ

Do I need a TradingView Pro account?

No. The actor only touches TradingView's public ideas pages and public author profiles. Your account is never touched.

Can I get the actual chart data behind the idea?

The actor returns the public chart snapshot image URL plus the structured idea metadata. Live OHLC for the symbol is not pulled here — pair it with a market data feed if you need bars.

How many ideas can I pull per symbol?

Up to maxIdeasPerSource, capped at 1000. Most active symbols on TradingView surface several hundred recent ideas through the public ideas grid.

Can I filter by direction?

Yes. Set direction to long, short, or education. The default keeps everything.

What about Pine scripts or strategies?

This actor returns trade ideas, not Pine Script publications. Strategy and indicator scrolls live on a separate TradingView surface.

How fresh is the data?

Each run hits the live page, so likes, views, and the most recent ideas reflect what TradingView renders at scrape time. Schedule daily runs to track sentiment shifts.

Is scraping TradingView allowed?

This actor reads HTML any anonymous web visitor can see. Respect TradingView's terms and rate limit sensibly. Do not redistribute personal data you have no lawful basis to process.
