Yahoo Finance Options & IV Scraper 📈

A high-performance Apify Actor designed to extract real-time Options Chain data directly from Yahoo Finance. Unlike other scrapers, this tool handles complex session management (Cookies & Crumb bypass) and provides a Flattened Data Structure—perfect for traders, analysts, and Excel users.

Why choose this Scraper? 🚀

• Implied Volatility (IV): Get the raw IV data for every strike, essential for risk assessment.
• Flattened Format: Every option (Call/Put) is a separate row. No more messy nested JSON—just clean, CSV-ready data.
• Crumb & Session Bypass: Automatically handles Yahoo’s advanced bot protection.
• Real-Time Metadata: Includes stockPrice, openInterest, volume, and In-The-Money (ITM) status.
• Super Fast: Lightweight and efficient, saving you Apify compute units.

🛠 Input Configuration

The Actor is simple to configure. You can provide a list of tickers and set a limit on how many options you want per stock.

Example Input JSON

{
"tickers":["AAPL","TSLA","GOOGL"],
"limitPerTicker":50,
"proxyConfiguration":{
"useApifyProxy":true
}
}

📊 Data Output (Flattened for Excel)

The output is structured so that each row represents a single Option contract. This makes it incredibly easy to filter and analyze in Google Sheets, Excel, or Python.

Example Output:

{
"ticker":"GOOGL",
"stockPrice":319.43,
"type":"PUT",
"symbol":"GOOGL260413P00272500",
"strike":272.5,
"price":0.02,
"iv":"106.25%",
"openInterest":1,
"volume":0,
"itm":false,
"expiration":"2026-04-13",
"scrapedAt":"2026-04-13T17:25:54.396Z"
}

💡 Use Cases

⚖️ Pricing

This Actor uses the Pay-per-result model. Since each option is a result, you only pay for the specific contracts you extract.
