How much does it cost?

This actor uses Yahoo Finance as its data source, which is free. You only pay for Apify platform compute time. A typical run fetching daily data for multiple stocks over a year completes in under a minute.

Limitations

• Intraday data availability: 1-minute data is available for the last 7 days only. 5m, 15m, 30m, and 1h intervals are available for the last 60 days only.
• Market hours only: Intraday data covers regular trading hours only (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET). Pre-market and after-hours trading data is not included.
• End date is exclusive: If you set endDate to 2025-03-15, the last record returned will be March 14. To include March 15, set endDate to 2025-03-16.
• Weekend and holiday dates: If startDate falls on a weekend or holiday, data starts from the next trading day automatically.
• Historical depth: Daily, weekly, and monthly data is available for decades on major tickers. Availability varies for smaller or newer stocks.
• Delisted tickers: Tickers that have been delisted may return no data or partial data depending on when they were removed.

FAQ

What timeframes are available?

1m, 5m, 15m, 30m, 1h, 1d, 1wk, 1mo. The default is 1d (daily).

How far back does historical data go?

Daily, weekly, and monthly data goes back decades for major US stocks. Intraday intervals have limits: 1-minute data is only available for the last 7 days; 5m–1h data is available for the last 60 days.

Why does my result start later than my startDate?

If startDate falls on a weekend, public holiday, or before a stock's IPO date, the first record will be from the next available trading day.

Why does my result not include my endDate?

The endDate is exclusive — it is not included in the results. To include a specific date, set endDate to the following calendar day.

Is this real-time data?

No. This actor downloads historical data. Intraday prices are typically delayed by at least 15–20 minutes from real-time. For the most recent trading day, data may not be available until after market close.

Can I use this for backtesting trading strategies?

Yes. The OHLCV output format is compatible with most backtesting frameworks (Backtrader, Zipline, VectorBT, etc.) and financial analysis libraries (pandas, TA-Lib).

Does it include pre-market and after-hours data?

No. Only regular trading hours (9:30 AM – 4:00 PM ET for US markets) are included in intraday intervals.

What happens if I request an invalid ticker?

The actor pushes an error record to the dataset for that ticker and continues processing the remaining symbols. The run does not fail.

Can I scrape multiple stocks in one run?

Yes. Pass multiple symbols in the symbols array. Each symbol is processed sequentially and all results are saved to the same dataset.

Can I scrape crypto or forex?

Yahoo Finance lists some crypto pairs (e.g. BTC-USD, ETH-USD) and forex pairs (e.g. EURUSD=X). These tickers are supported and work the same way as stock tickers.

Why does a valid ticker return no data?

Possible reasons: the date range is before the stock's IPO date, the ticker has been delisted, or you requested intraday data outside the supported lookback window (7 days for 1m, 60 days for 5m–1h).
