Google Finance Scraper

Pulls Google Finance quote pages (/finance/quote/<SYMBOL>:<EXCHANGE>) and decodes the 20 AF_initDataCallback blocks that Google renders server-side. No headless browser — plain HTTP from an Apify datacenter US proxy is enough.

Six modes let you pay only for what you need. The cheapest, quote, is $0.0005 per ticker. The richest, all, is $0.005 and bundles every block the page carries.

Modes

Mode	Fields	Price
quote	price, change, previousClose, afterHours, timezone	$0.0005
quote_full	quote + company profile + ratios + related peers + analyst ratings + upcoming earnings + news	$0.001
intraday	per-minute close + volume for today's session (~390 points)	$0.002
history_daily	daily OHLCV for ~30 days	$0.002
financials	annual + quarterly series (revenue, operating income, EPS reported vs forecast, shares outstanding, fiscal end date; up to 27 annual + 111 quarterly periods)	$0.003
all	every block above in one row	$0.005

Rate limiting + proxy

Google rate-limits /finance/quote/ per IP. The actor uses Apify's shared datacenter US proxy (rotating per request) and falls back to the residential pool if 403/429 persists. Each request is throttled by a 0.4–0.8 s jitter.

Expect ~2 tickers / second steady state. For large portfolios split into multiple runs or raise memory.

Which positions are exposed vs raw

The financials block decodes a 106-position tuple per fiscal period. Only positions whose semantics match independently reported figures are exposed:

• revenue, operatingIncome, epsReported, revenueTtm, epsConsensusActual, epsConsensusForecast, currency, fiscalEndDate, sharesOutstanding.

Set includeRawFinancials: true to also receive the full 106-tuple in each row (keyed raw). Positions 11-105 cover items like cost of revenue, gross profit, balance sheet lines and cash flow items — the exact mapping varies by sector classification, so they are not labelled.

Not included

• Options chains (Google Finance does not SSR option tables).
• /finance/markets/* top-mover lists are planned for v0.2.
• Pre-market quotes outside US sessions.
