Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Investing.com News Scraper Extract full article text, related financial instruments, and reader comments from **investing.com** news articles — no account, no browser, no setup required. ### Why use this actor - **Full article text, not just a headline** — the complete body of each news article, in clean plain text. - **Rich financial context** — every financial instrument mentioned in the article (stocks, indices, forex) is captured alongside the news, including name, exchange ticker, pair ID, and live price change for the day. - **Reader sentiment included** — comment threads are collected in full: author name, message text, like/dislike counts, and threaded replies with parent reference. - **No login or subscription required** — works on regular investing.com news without an account. - **Stable, consistent JSON** — the same fields are returned for every article, making it easy to pipe directly into a database, spreadsheet, or downstream pipeline. - **Latest headlines on demand** — use `mode: "latest"` to pull the newest article URLs without processing individual articles. --- ### How it works 1. You give the actor one or more investing.com article URLs — or set `mode` to `"latest"` to fetch fresh headlines automatically. 2. The actor fetches the full article: headline, body text, byline, publication date, and featured image. 3. Any financial instruments linked in the article are collected as ticker records — name, exchange symbol, pair ID, and current-day price change. 4. Reader comments are captured in full, including threaded replies with like and dislike counts. 5. Results appear in the dataset immediately, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel. Pagination, retries, and IP management are handled automatically — you only need to provide URLs. --- ### Input ```json { "url": "https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/no-ceiling-in-sight-this-analyst-just-raised-his-kospi-target-again-4691696", "mode": "article", "limit": 10 } ```` | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `url` | string | Single investing.com article URL to extract. | | `urls` | array | Multiple article URLs to extract in one run. | | `mode` | string | `"article"` (default) — extract a single URL. `"latest"` — return the newest headlines from the feed. | | `limit` | integer | Maximum number of articles returned in `latest` mode.

Apify's "Actor finished" webhook lets you chain runs without glue code. Common cron expressions: | Frequency | Cron | |---|---| | Every 15 minutes | `*/15 * * * *` | | Hourly | `0 * * * *` | | Every 6 hours | `0 */6 * * *` | | Daily at 06:00 UTC | `0 6 * * *` | *** ### Notes - **Comments** are sourced from the same page load as the article — no separate request is needed. Returns an empty array if the article has no comments. - **Tickers** reflect the price change as of the time the article was fetched. The values are live at scrape time, not historical. *** ### Other News Actors | Actor | Source | |---|---| | [`aljazeera-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/aljazeera-scraper) | Al Jazeera | | [`apnews-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/apnews-scraper) | AP News | | [`bbc-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/bbc-scraper) | BBC News | | [`cnbc-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/cnbc-scraper) | CNBC | | [`forbes-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/forbes-scraper) | Forbes | | [`fortune-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/fortune-scraper) | Fortune | | [`ft-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/ft-scraper) | Financial Times | | [`guardian-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/guardian-scraper) | The Guardian | | [`msn-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/msn-scraper) | MSN News | | [`nytimes-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/nytimes-scraper) | New York Times | | [`reuters-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/reuters-scraper) | Reuters | | [`scmp-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/scmp-scraper) | South China Morning Post | | [`techcrunch-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/techcrunch-scraper) | TechCrunch | | [`upi-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/upi-scraper) | UPI | | [`yahoo-finance-scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/yahoo-finance-scraper) | Yahoo Finance | | [`smart-news-loader`](https://apify.com/xtracto/smart-news-loader) | Any URL — adaptive loader | # Actor input Schema ## `url` (type: `string`): Single investing.com article URL to extract. ## `urls` (type: `array`): List of investing.com article URLs to extract in one run. ## `mode` (type: `string`): Operation mode: 'article' to extract a single article (default), 'latest' to fetch newest headlines from investing.com. ## `limit` (type: `integer`): Number of latest articles to return when mode is 'latest'.
