📊 Yahoo Finance Scraper

Up to 59 data points per ticker — quotes, deep fundamentals and full price history in one run. No login, no API key, no rate-limit headaches.

Feed it a list of symbols — stocks, ETFs, indices, currencies or crypto — and get back a clean structured record per ticker: the live quote with pre- and post-market prices, the 50- and 200-day moving averages, the analyst vote broken down (not just "buy"), insider and institutional ownership, the next earnings date, and full OHLCV candles going back as far as Yahoo has them.

⚡ Fast	Quotes are batched and details run in parallel — hundreds of symbols in seconds.
📊 Deep	31 quote fields, plus a 55-field fundamentals block with analyst rating changes, forward estimates, top institutional holders and insider trades.
🌍 Anything Yahoo lists	Stocks, ETFs, funds, indices (^GSPC), FX (EURUSD=X), crypto (BTC-USD).
📈 Full history	OHLCV from 1 day to max, daily / weekly / monthly candles.
🛡 Resilient	A dead proxy or one bad symbol degrades that record — it never takes the run down.
🔓 No credentials	Nothing to sign up for, no key to rotate.

Analyst coverage: recommendationKey, numberOfAnalystOpinions, targetMeanPrice, targetHighPrice, targetLowPrice, and the vote itself — analystStrongBuy, analystBuy, analystHold, analystSell, analystStrongSell

A "buy" backed by 41 analysts is a different signal from one backed by 2. The breakdown is why this block exists.

Ownership & insiders: insidersPercentHeld, institutionsPercentHeld, insiderBuyShares6m, insiderSellShares6m, insiderNetShares6m

Earnings: nextEarningsDate, isEarningsDateEstimate, exDividendDate, dividendPayDate, lastEpsActual, lastEpsEstimate, lastEpsSurprisePercent

Rating changes — ratingChanges: the last 10 analyst actions, each with the firm, the grade it moved from and to, and the price target before and after.

Forward estimates — estimates: next quarter and next year, with EPS average/low/high, how many analysts contributed, expected growth and revenue estimate.

Top institutional holders — topInstitutions: the 10 largest, with percent held, share count, position value and report date.

Insider trades — insiderTrades: the 10 most recent, with the insider's name, their role, the transaction description, shares and value.

Quarterly history — quarterlyEarnings (EPS actual vs estimate and surprise %) and quarterlyRevenue (revenue and earnings per quarter).

📉 Historical (optional)

OHLCV candles — date, open, high, low, close, adjClose, volume — from 1d to max, at daily, weekly or monthly resolution.

Fields come back null when Yahoo genuinely has no value: an ETF has no P/E, a stock that pays no dividend has no ex-date. Nothing is guessed or padded.

FAQ

Do I need a Yahoo Finance API key or account? No. No login, no key, nothing to rotate.

Which symbols are supported? Anything Yahoo Finance lists: stocks, ETFs, mutual funds, indices (^GSPC), currencies (EURUSD=X) and crypto (BTC-USD).

How fresh is the price data? Quotes reflect Yahoo's real-time / near-real-time regular market price at the moment of the run. Outside trading hours marketState tells you the session, and the pre/post-market fields carry the extended-hours price.

Can I run many tickers at once? Yes. Quotes go out in batches of 50 and the detail calls run in parallel, so large lists finish quickly.

What if a symbol is invalid? It is saved with empty fields, so your dataset stays aligned with your input list.

Why is a field null? Because Yahoo has no value for it — an ETF has no P/E, a non-paying stock has no ex-dividend date, and a company with no analyst coverage has no target price. Nothing is invented to fill the gap.
