Finviz Scraper — Stock Screener, Fundamentals, Insider Trading & News

Extract everything that matters from Finviz in clean, structured JSON: the stock screener with 70+ fundamental and technical fields per stock, full per-ticker fundamentals (80+ metrics, analyst ratings & price targets, insider trades, news), the market-wide insider-trading feed, the news & blogs feed, and sector / industry / country performance.

No login, no API key, no browser — fast, reliable, datacenter-friendly extraction. Filter the entire US market by any criteria, watch a signal, or monitor for new insider buys and fresh screener matches.

Why this Finviz scraper?

Most Finviz scrapers grab a thin row — ticker, price, a couple of ratios. This actor reads the custom screener view with every column enabled and, per ticker, merges the full fundamentals snapshot, analyst ratings, insider transactions and news into one record — the richest Finviz dataset on Apify.

Output

Each record carries a recordType so you can filter the dataset. A screener stock (recordType: "screenerStock"):

{
    "recordType": "screenerStock",
    "ticker": "NVDA",
    "company": "NVIDIA Corp",
    "sector": "Technology",
    "industry": "Semiconductors",
    "country": "USA",
    "marketCap": 4951970000000,
    "peRatio": 31.34,
    "forwardPE": 28.1,
    "eps": 6.53,
    "dividendYield": 0.02,
    "roe": 91.87,
    "profitMargin": 52.41,
    "perfYtd": 18.4,
    "rsi": 54.2,
    "price": 204.63,
    "change": -1.12,
    "volume": 215430000,
    "targetPrice": 245.6,
    "tickerUrl": "https://finviz.com/quote.ashx?t=NVDA",
    "scrapedAt": "2026-06-17T16:00:00.000Z"
}

A ticker report (recordType: "tickerReport") adds website, description, marketCapClass, exchange, a full snapshot object (80+ metrics), ratings (date, action, analyst, rating, price target), insiderTrades (with SEC Form 4 links), news, peers and heldBy (ETFs). An insider transaction (recordType: "insiderTransaction") carries ticker, insider, relationship, date, transaction, cost, shares, value, sharesTotal and secForm4Url. A news item (recordType: "newsItem") carries time, title, source and url. A group row (recordType: "groupRow") carries groupType, name and performance/valuation metrics.

What to expect (field coverage)

Finviz publishes a field only when it has a value for that stock, so some columns are blank for some tickers (e.g. dividend yield for non-dividend payers, forward P/E for unprofitable companies). Nothing is dropped — every available field is included. Numeric cells are parsed to numbers (percent values as their numeric percent; 35.04B → 35040000000), so the dataset is sort- and filter-ready.

Automate & schedule

• Apify API — start runs, fetch datasets, manage schedules over REST.
• apify-client for JavaScript and Python — official SDKs.
• Schedules — run the screener or insider feed every hour/day to capture changes.
• Webhooks — trigger downstream actions (alert, CRM, database) the moment a run finishes.

import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: 'MY_APIFY_TOKEN' });

const run = await client.actor('scrapesage/finviz-scraper').call({
    mode: 'insider',
    insiderTab: 'latestBuys',
    monitorMode: true,
});

const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
console.log(`Got ${items.length} new insider buys`);

Monitor mode vs. Schedules

Monitor mode remembers the records it has already returned (in a named key-value store) and outputs only new ones on the next run — new insider buys, fresh screener matches, or new articles. It is complementary to Apify Schedules: a Schedule decides when the actor runs; monitor mode decides what is new since last time. Use them together for hands-off alerting, or use monitor mode on its own and run it manually.

Integrate with any app

Connect the dataset to 5,000+ apps — no code required:

• Make — multi-step automation scenarios.
• Zapier — push new insider buys or screener hits into Slack, Sheets or your CRM.
• Slack — get alerted when a monitored screen or insider feed changes.
• Google Drive / Sheets — auto-export every run to a spreadsheet.
• Airbyte — pipe results into your data warehouse.
• GitHub — trigger runs from commits or releases.

Use with AI assistants (MCP)

The output is clean, LLM-ready JSON. Call this actor from Claude, ChatGPT, or any agent framework through the Apify MCP server — ask your assistant to "screen large-cap tech stocks with a P/E under 30 and list recent insider buys" and let it run the scraper for you.

Agent-ready: autonomous payments (x402 & Skyfire)

This actor is agent-ready — AI agents can discover it, run it, and pay for it autonomously, with no Apify account and no human in the loop. It uses pay-per-event pricing and limited permissions, so it qualifies for Apify's agentic-payment standards:

• x402 — an open, HTTP-native payment protocol. Agents pay per run in USDC on the Base network directly through the Apify MCP server — no account, no API key.
• Skyfire — agent-to-service payments for fully autonomous AI-agent workflows.

Tips

• Build your screen on Finviz first, copy the URL, and paste it into screenerUrl — every filter and signal is preserved exactly.
• Use includeTickerDetails sparingly on big screens — it adds one request per stock. For a quick rich table, the 70 screener fields are usually enough.
• For insider alerts, set mode: insider, insiderTab: latestBuys and monitorMode: true, then add a daily Schedule.
• Datacenter proxy is fast and cheap for Finviz; no residential proxy needed.

FAQ

Do I need a Finviz Elite account or API key? No. This actor reads Finviz's public pages — no login, key or Elite subscription required.

How many stocks can the screener return? As many as match your filter (the actor reports the total and paginates 20 per page). Use maxResults to cap a run.

Can I use my own Finviz screener URL? Yes — paste it into screenerUrl. The actor always requests the all-columns custom view so you get 70+ fields regardless of the view in your URL.

Where do insider trades come from? Finviz's insider-trading pages, sourced from SEC Form 4 filings — each record includes a direct link to the filing on SEC.gov.

Can I export to Google Sheets, CSV, or Excel? Yes — one click in the dataset view, or automatically on every run via the Google Drive integration.

A field is empty — why? Finviz only shows a metric when it applies (e.g. no dividend yield for a non-payer). Blanks mean the source has no value there — never that scraping failed.

Is scraping Finviz legal? This actor collects publicly available data only. You are responsible for using the data in compliance with applicable laws and Finviz's terms. This is not investment advice.
