Yahoo Finance Scraper

Finance & Company Data

Operated by Sourcelane✓ verified

A scraper for Yahoo Finance that fetches live and exchange-delayed market data across asset classes (stocks, crypto, forex, ETFs, indices, futures) and returns five integrated data types: real-time quotes (price, percent change, intraday ranges, bid/ask, volume, market capitalization, dividend and valuation metrics), company fundamentals (sector, industry, employee counts, business summary, margins, revenue, cash/debt, free cash flow, valuation ratios, analyst targets and recommendations), historical price series (OHLCV bars from intraday to monthly with adjusted close and full listing history), options chains (complete strikes and quotes for the nearest expiry with volume, open interest and implied volatility), and news (latest headlines with publisher, timestamp and related tickers). The connector scrapes Yahoo Finance pages to produce structured market, fundamental, historical, options, and news data suitable for portfolio monitoring, quant research, screening, options analysis, and ticker-level news pipelines; it supports batch symbol queries and respects Yahoo Finance quote freshness (real-time or exchange-delayed as displayed).
