Financial Data Tools β€” Stocks, ETFs, Crypto, FX & Bonds

Reading Time: 9 minutesReading Time: 7 minutes

Structured market data for stocks, ETFs, bonds, FX, crypto, and derivatives β€” pulled by ready-made scrapers running on your Apify account at usage-based pricing. No Bloomberg terminal required.

This page covers our full financial data lineup: equity fundamentals (Yahoo Finance, Finviz, Stock Analysis), fixed income (US Treasury, Fed H.15, FRED), commodities & FX (EIA, USDA, metals, G10/EM currency pairs, ForexFactory), crypto (CoinGecko top 100, CoinMarketCap full universe, real-time price tracking), derivatives (Yahoo options chains, unusual options activity), insider trading & ownership (SEC Form 4, Schedule 13D/G, hedge fund 13F), and fund holdings (SEC Form N-PORT, N-PX, Whalewisdom).

Who uses it: buy-side analysts reverse-engineering fund positioning, quant researchers backtesting against decades of fundamentals, retail traders building watchlist alerts, fintech builders powering customer-facing dashboards, financial journalists sourcing weekly columns, and hedge fund operations teams reconciling positions across counterparties. If you need data that lives on a financial website, a regulator’s portal, or a fund disclosure β€” there’s an actor for it on this page.

Workflow example: building a morning markets brief

Here’s a concrete pattern we run for ourselves β€” a single 6:30am ET job that delivers a 4-section Slack post covering everything an analyst needs before the US open.

Step 1: Earnings on deck (~5 cents/day). Run a 7-day forward window of the earnings calendar, filter to S&P 500 + your coverage universe, sort by expected EPS surprise size.

Step 2: Overnight FX moves (~3 cents/day). Call the Currency Exchange Rates actor for G10 + EM majors, compute % change vs. previous NY close, flag any pair that moved more than 1 standard deviation.

Step 3: Treasury yields & curve (~2 cents/day). Pull the full US curve from Federal Reserve H.15, compute 2s10s spread, flag inversions or large daily moves at the long end.

Step 4: Crypto + commodity overnight (~5 cents/day). Pull CoinGecko top 100 and Commodity Price Aggregator (WTI, Brent, gold, copper, nat gas). Format as a 5-line summary.

Step 5: Post to Slack. Use Apify’s webhook integration or a 50-line Python script to compose the four sections and post to your #markets channel before the team logs on.

Total cost: under $5/month for a brief that, manually, took analysts 45 minutes a day to assemble. Code samples and the full Apify schedule recipe are in our Real-Time FX Dashboard tutorial.

Frequently asked questions

Is this real-time data?

It depends on the actor. Quote- and FX-tracking actors (Yahoo Finance, Stock Market Scraper, FX Rates, Crypto Top 100) refresh on demand and typically return prices delayed 0–15 minutes versus exchange feeds β€” the same lag you see on Yahoo Finance, Google Finance, or Finviz. SEC filings actors (Form 4, 13F, 8-K, N-PORT) reflect EDGAR filings within minutes of acceptance. Earnings calendar and analyst targets are typically end-of-day refreshed. If you need sub-second tick data with direct exchange connectivity, you need a paid market-data vendor like Polygon, Databento, or Bloomberg B-PIPE β€” these scrapers are not designed for low-latency execution.

How is this different from Yahoo Finance, Finviz, or Bloomberg?

Yahoo Finance and Finviz are UIs; this is structured data. You get clean JSON rows you can pipe into a database, dashboard, backtester, or Slack alert β€” without rate limits, scraping headaches, or paying $24K/year per Bloomberg terminal. Bloomberg, Refinitiv, and FactSet are still the gold standard for institutional desks; these actors give analysts, quants, and fintech builders 70–90% of that coverage at 1–5% of the cost. We also surface niche data Bloomberg buries: insider cluster patterns, 13F position deltas, pre-IPO secondary prices, mutual fund proxy votes.

Can I use this commercially?

Yes. Every actor on Apify runs in your own account against your own usage-priced budget, so the output is yours to embed in commercial products, internal dashboards, sell-side research, fund newsletters, or fintech apps. We recommend reading each actor’s specific terms (some upstream sources β€” Bloomberg Terminal exports, Refinitiv feeds, paid Seeking Alpha Premium β€” have redistribution restrictions independent of Apify). For SEC EDGAR, Treasury, Federal Reserve, and Yahoo Finance public data, commercial use is generally fine.

What’s the rate limit?

There is no fixed rate limit β€” you pay per usage. Apify charges per actor compute unit, per dataset row, or per event depending on the actor’s pricing model. A typical Yahoo Finance pull of 500 tickers costs around $0.45–$1.00; a daily 13F sweep across 50 hedge funds costs a few cents; pulling the entire SEC Form 4 universe daily runs about $2–$5/day. Apify’s $49/month Starter plan is enough for most retail traders; $499/month Scale handles serious fund workflows.

Do you cover options and futures?

Yes. Yahoo Finance Options & IV pulls full option chains with implied volatility; Stock Option Trends Analyzer surfaces unusual activity and sweep flow; Commodity Price Aggregator covers energy and ag futures via EIA and USDA. Deep derivatives analytics (Greek surfaces, vol cones, exotic pricing) still require dedicated platforms like ORATS, LiveVol, or CBOE DataShop.

Pricing for retail traders vs. funds?

Retail traders: Apify Starter ($49/mo) plus $20–$50/month in usage covers most personal workflows β€” daily watchlist refresh, earnings calendar, insider alerts, FX dashboard. Funds and fintech builders: Apify Scale ($499/mo) plus $200–$2,000/month in usage typically covers institutional-grade coverage of the equity universe, daily 13F/Form 4 sweeps, and powering a customer-facing dashboard. Compare to a single Bloomberg Terminal at ~$2,000/month per seat and the math is decisive for sub-$50M AUM funds and fintech startups.
