Overview

This Apify actor scrapes real-time stock ticker data and financial news articles from Stocktwits. It outputs structured JSON data for monitoring stock performance, sentiment analysis, and tracking market news.

Key Features

• Ticker Data Extraction: Fetches real-time prices (open, close, high, low), volume, percentage changes, and extended hours trading data. Supports equities, options, and cryptocurrencies.
• News Data Extraction: Collects articles, insights, and analysis from Stocktwits contributors, including headlines, full content, author profiles, publication dates, categories, and associated stock symbols.
• Structured Output: Returns clean, parsed JSON objects, with timestamps in multiple formats (ISO8601, Eastern Time).
• Automation Ready: Built for integration into data pipelines, dashboards, or research tools.

How to Use

Run the actor on the Apify platform. You can configure it via the input schema, schedule runs, and export data to various storage options (dataset, key-value store). The actor handles the scraping logic, pagination, and rate limiting.

Input/Output

Input: Configure the actor with target stock symbols (e.g., AAPL, TSLA) and/or news search parameters via the Apify console input UI.
