Performance & cost

The Actor calls Yahoo Finance's lightweight JSON endpoints — no headless browser — so runs are fast and cheap. Dividend history uses an open endpoint; ETF data and forward dividend stats share a single cookie + token across the run. Cost scales with the number of symbols, billed per result (see pricing).

Pricing

This Actor uses pay per result: you are charged only for the symbols it returns.

FAQ

Does this require an API key or Yahoo Finance login? No. The Actor uses Yahoo Finance's public JSON endpoints with no credentials required. A session cookie is obtained automatically for ETF and forward dividend data.

What's the difference between ttmDividend and forwardAnnualDividendRate? ttmDividend is the sum of actual dividends paid in the last 12 months (from historical events). forwardAnnualDividendRate is Yahoo's forward estimate (annualized from the most recent declared dividend), which may differ if the company recently raised or cut its payout.

Can I get data for ETFs that also pay dividends? Yes. Use dataTypes: ["dividends", "etfProfile"] together. ETFs like SPY return both full dividend history and the fund profile with holdings and sector weights.

How many symbols can I process in one run? There is no hard limit. The Actor processes symbols sequentially with a short delay to respect Yahoo rate limits. Runs with 50–100 symbols complete in a few minutes.
