Yahoo Finance public market reference data
Public quote, profile and event fields for research and monitoring.
What we can collect
What data can be collected from Yahoo Finance?
The exact schema follows your brief, but a typical Yahoo Financedataset can include the following record groups when they are publicly exposed and permitted for the intended use.
- Published quote and instrument metadata
- Company profiles and sector labels
- Earnings and corporate-event calendars
- Public tables and summary statistics where displayed
Practical field breakdown
symbolThe published symbol value, normalised into the schema agreed for your project.exchangeThe published exchange value, normalised into the schema agreed for your project.nameThe public-facing name exactly as observed at collection time.currencyThe observed commercial value and its context; never silently converted or inferred.quote_timeA source timestamp or Scrapebuddy observation time used to build an auditable history.priceThe observed commercial value and its context; never silently converted or inferred.market_capThe published market cap value, normalised into the schema agreed for your project.sectorThe published classification used for filtering, grouping and market comparisons.event_dateA source timestamp or Scrapebuddy observation time used to build an auditable history.source_urlThe published Yahoo Finance location or destination associated with the record.
Fields are representative rather than fixed. We show null when a value is not published; we do not quietly guess missing prices, identifiers, availability or review data.
What stands in the way
Rate limits and layout changes need handling, and the pipeline needs monitoring to stay reliable.
- Rate limiting
- Changing page payloads and consent surfaces
Token estimate
~3tokens per record
An estimate for planning, not a quote. The final rate follows the real volume and the state of the source when we scope it.

Delivery options
Delivered into your workflow
These are delivery formats we can arrange for a scoped project, not claims of a pre-authorised integration with Yahoo Finance.
Managed API
A documented endpoint shaped around the schema and query pattern agreed for your project.
Scheduled files
CSV, JSON or JSONL delivered on an agreed cadence for analysis or batch import.
Cloud or database delivery
A managed drop into your storage or database when direct delivery is the cleaner fit.
Worth knowing up front
This is public web reference data, not a licensed real-time exchange feed. It is unsuitable for order execution or any use requiring guaranteed low latency.
We work within what each source permits and within applicable law. Where a source cannot be collected properly, we say so at feasibility stage rather than after you have paid.
Questions before you scope it
Yahoo Finance data FAQ
Can Scrapebuddy collect fields not shown on this page?
Usually, if Yahoo Finance publishes them and the intended use is permitted. Send the fields and representative URLs; feasibility is checked against the real surface before anything is promised.
How frequently can Yahoo Finance data be refreshed?
Cadence is agreed around how quickly the values change and the cost of each query. Every delivery includes observation timestamps so snapshots and changes remain distinguishable.
What happens when the source changes?
Managed projects are monitored and repaired as source behaviour changes. A layout or request change is handled as maintenance rather than handed back as a broken script.
Can the data be used in a customer-facing product?
That depends on the source, fields, jurisdiction and intended use. We confirm collection feasibility, but you remain responsible for rights to store, publish or redistribute third-party data.
