Pricing
$0.001 per item = $1 per 1,000
| You are charged for | When | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Item returned | Charged per quote/history row returned. | $0.001 |
Pay-per-event pricing: you are billed per result, not per subscription — a run that returns nothing costs nothing beyond the start fee. Billing is handled by Apify on your own account. These are the live Apify store prices, in effect since 2026-06-12, and they are what you are actually charged.
Inputs
| Field | What it does | Type |
|---|---|---|
mode | What to fetch. "search" = find ticker symbols by name (uses Query). "quote" = current price snapshot for each Symbol. "history" = OHLCV price history for each Symbol over Range/Interval. | string |
query | Company or asset name to search ticker symbols for, e.g. "apple", "vanguard s&p 500", "bitcoin". Only used when Mode is "search". | string |
symbols | One or more ticker symbols to fetch, e.g. AAPL, MSFT, ^GSPC (S&P 500 index), EURUSD=X (FX), BTC-USD (crypto). Used by "quote" and "history" modes. | array |
range | How far back the price history goes (history mode). Longer ranges return more rows. | string |
interval | The candle size / sampling interval for history. Intraday intervals (1m, 5m) only work with short ranges (about 1d-1mo). | string |
maxItems | Maximum number of result rows to return and charge for (caps history bars and search results). Quotes return one row per symbol. | integer |
notionConnector | Optional. Write each item as a page into your Notion when the run finishes. Authorize a Notion connector once in Settings → API & Integrations → MCP connectors, then pick it here. Leave empty to skip (default) — results are always saved to the dataset regardless. | string |
notionParentId | Optional. The Notion data source ID of the database to write into (only used if a Notion connector is set). Leave empty to create the pages privately in your workspace instead. | string |

Yahoo Finance Scraper
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
| Field | Type | Default | Notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

range | string | 1mo | 1d,5d,1mo,3mo,6mo,1y,5y,max (history) | ||
interval | string | 1d | 1m,5m,1d,1wk,1mo (history; intraday needs short range) | ||

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
$1.00 per 1,000 rows ($0.001 each), with no run-start fee. Flat rate — no volume tiers, no plan gates — and one item charge per successful row.
A row is a row in every mode: a search hit, a quote snapshot, or one OHLCV bar. A 10-symbol quote run is 10 rows ($0.01); one year of daily candles for a single ticker is about 250 rows ($0.25). maxItems is a hard cap on rows, so it doubles as your spend cap.
Diagnostic, empty, rate-limited and NOT_FOUND rows are not charged, and because there is no start fee a run that returns only diagnostics costs nothing at all.
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_LIMITEDrows. Enable Apify Proxy if you hit this under high volume. - Invalid symbols surface as
NOT_FOUNDrows (other symbols in the batch still return data).
