Yahoo Finance Scraper — Quotes, History & Fundamentals

Pull market data for any Yahoo Finance symbol — stocks, ETFs, crypto, forex and indices — in one run: live quotes, OHLCV price history, and fundamentals (P/E, margins, ROE, revenue, analyst targets, dividends). Uses Yahoo Finance's own endpoints (the Actor handles the required session crumb automatically). No API key.

• Fundamentals — P/E, forward P/E, P/B, PEG, beta, profit/operating/gross margins, ROE/ROA, revenue & growth, cash/debt, free cash flow, analyst target price & recommendation, dividend rate/yield/payout, sector & industry.
