Scrape Yahoo Finance quotes into clean JSON

One call

Send the URL and a plain-language description of the fields. That's the whole integration.

curl https://api.webscrape.ai/v1/smartscraper \
  -H "X-API-Key: wsg_live_your_key_here" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "url": "https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL",
    "prompt": "Extract the ticker symbol, current price, day change, market capitalization, and P/E ratio."
  }'

You get back JSON shaped to match — nothing to parse:

{
  "status": "completed",
  "data": {
    "symbol": "string",
    "price": "number",
    "change": "string",
    "market_cap": "string",
    "pe_ratio": "number"
  }
}

Example response shape; data matches the fields you asked for. Failed fetches return a non-completed status and cost nothing.

Fields you'll usually want from Yahoo Finance

Quote pages render the key figures server-side; for bulk historical data, Yahoo’s own feeds may fit better.

How it works

• Tiered fetching. A fast request carrying a real browser's fingerprint handles most pages; the engine steps up to a headless browser, then our hardened stealth browser, only when a page forces it.
• AI extraction. The cleaned page is extracted into data matching your fields, validated against the schema with one repair pass on a miss.
• One wallet, success-only. Proxies, browser time, and extraction all come out of one credit balance, and a failed fetch costs nothing.
• Blueprints for repeat runs. Once an extraction works, pin it: subsequent runs replay reverse-engineered selectors with no AI step in the loop.

When it breaks

• A page returns a 200 with an empty shell: that can look like success to the fast tier, so force the browser tier for that request if it recurs.
• A field comes back wrong after a redesign: re-run live extraction, or re-pin the Blueprint. Drift surfaces as validation_warnings, not a silent null.
