Scrape Yahoo Finance with no API key and no login. Three modes:

• search — find ticker symbols by name (e.g. "apple" → AAPL).
• quote — current price snapshot for one or more symbols.
• history — OHLCV price history (candles) over a range/interval.

Works for stocks, ETFs, indices (^GSPC), FX (EURUSD=X) and crypto (BTC-USD).

It calls Yahoo's public JSON endpoints directly (query1/query2.finance.yahoo.com) — no HTML parsing, no scraping fragility.

Input

Examples

{"mode":"search","query":"apple","maxItems":20}

{"mode":"quote","symbols":["AAPL","MSFT","BTC-USD"]}

{"mode":"history","symbols":["AAPL"],"range":"1mo","interval":"1d"}

Output

search rows:

{"symbol":"AAPL","name":"Apple Inc.","exchange":"NASDAQ","quoteType":"EQUITY","sector":"Technology","industry":"Consumer Electronics"}

quote rows:

{"symbol":"AAPL","price":201.0,"currency":"USD","exchange":"NMS","previousClose":198.0,"changePct":1.52,"fiftyTwoWeekHigh":260.1,"fiftyTwoWeekLow":169.2,"marketTime":"2026-06-11T20:00:00.000Z"}

history rows (one per bar):

{"symbol":"AAPL","date":"2026-05-12T13:30:00.000Z","open":210.9,"high":211.3,"low":206.7,"close":207.0,"volume":51000000}

Every successful row has ok: true. Failures and empty results come back as ok: false rows with an errorCode (RATE_LIMITED, NOT_FOUND, NO_RESULTS, BAD_INPUT, NETWORK, …) and are never charged.

Pricing

Pay-per-result: one charge per successful row (item). Diagnostic, empty, and rate-limited rows are not charged.

Notes

• Yahoo rejects generic User-Agents — the actor always sends a browser-like UA and rotates it per retry.
• Yahoo rate-limits aggressively. On HTTP 429 the actor backs off and retries; persistent limits surface as RATE_LIMITED rows. Enable Apify Proxy if you hit this under high volume.
• Invalid symbols surface as NOT_FOUND rows (other symbols in the batch still return data).
