Advanced Finviz Scraper

Extract structured financial data from Finviz.com. This actor scrapes stock screener results, insider trading activity, and real-time financial news for automated market intelligence.

Overview

This scraper pulls data from Finviz for traders, analysts, and data engineers. It handles stock screeners, insider transactions, and news articles, outputting structured JSON. Typical runs process thousands of records efficiently.

Key Features

• Stock Screener Extraction: Scrape any Finviz screener URL. Returns data like company name, ticker, sector, market cap, P/E ratio, price, volume, and change percentage.
• Insider Trading Data: Track insider buys and sells. Captures insider name, role, transaction type, date, share price, total value, and links to SEC Form 4.
• News Scraping: Harvest real-time financial news headlines, including source URL, publication time, and related tickers.
• Performance: Optimized for pagination and large queries, supporting high-throughput data collection.

How to Use

Provide a Finviz URL to the actor's input. The data returned depends on the URL type:
* Use a screener URL (e.g., https://finviz.com/screener.ashx?...) for stock metrics.
* Use an insider trading URL (e.g., https://finviz.com/insidertrading.ashx?...) for transaction data.
* Use a news URL (e.g., https://finviz.com/news.ashx) for financial headlines.

The actor will navigate the pages and extract all available data based on your query.
