## Pricing

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.
Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

# README

### 📊 Barchart snapshots for market research

Investors, analysts, market researchers, and developers can run one Barchart snapshot at a time. Get structured rows for financial news, stock and ETF quotes, unusual options activity, options chains, or ticker option flow. Use the rows to review news, compare quotes, and study contract and trade data.

**Try these tasks**

- Track **[Financial News](https://apify.com/maximedupre/barchart/examples/financial-news)** for symbol-linked headlines, summaries, and source links.
- Pull **[Options Quotes](https://apify.com/maximedupre/barchart/examples/options-quotes)** for selected symbols with option quote fields.
- Review **[Unusual Options Activity](https://apify.com/maximedupre/barchart/examples/unusual-options-activity)** across stocks, ETFs, and indices with activity measures.
- Compare **[Options Chain](https://apify.com/maximedupre/barchart/examples/options-chain)** contracts across available expirations for selected symbols.
- Inspect **[Options Flow](https://apify.com/maximedupre/barchart/examples/options-flow)** for intraday trades, prices, premiums, and trade codes.
- Choose calls and inspect **[Unusual Call Options Activity](https://apify.com/maximedupre/barchart/examples/unusual-call-options-activity)** in a market-wide scan.

#### 🧾 Barchart snapshot types

Each run writes structured dataset rows for the snapshot type you choose. Financial news rows include story details and links. Stock and ETF quote rows include price, change, volume, and valuation fields when Barchart supplies them. Options rows include contract terms, prices, activity data, and trade context. Coverage fields show available and returned counts, filters, and whether the snapshot stopped early.

**First saved match**

If the same source item matches more than one submitted value, the Actor saves the first eligible match and ignores later matches. For a financial news row, symbol is the first submitted symbol that found the story.

#### ▶️ Run a Barchart snapshot

**Run steps**

1. Choose one target: Financial news, Stock and ETF quotes, Unusual options activity, Options chain, or Ticker option flow.
2. Add Symbols for the symbol-based targets. Unusual options activity scans the market and ignores Symbols.
3. Add an expiration or activity filter when you need one.
4. Set Actor Work Limit to stop after a chosen number of records, or leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted.
5. Start the run and open the defaultDataset URL from the run output.

#### ⚙️ Input

**Input fields**

| Field | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| target | string | Selects one snapshot type for the run. |
| assetClass | string | For Unusual options activity, selects stocks, ETFs, indices, or all. Other snapshot types ignore it. |
| expiration | date string | For Options chain, selects one calendar date. Leave it empty to include all available expirations. Other snapshot types ignore it. |
| symbols | array of strings | Provides one or more security symbols for Financial news, Stock and ETF quotes, Options chain, or Ticker option flow. Unusual options activity scans the market and ignores this field. |
| optionType | string | For Unusual options activity, Options chain, or Ticker option flow, selects calls, puts, or both. Financial news and Stock and ETF quotes ignore it. |
| minVolume | integer | For Unusual options activity or Options chain, keeps option records with at least this many contracts traded. Leave it empty for no volume threshold. Other snapshot types ignore it. |
| minPremium | number | For Unusual options activity or Options chain, keeps option records with at least this premium. Leave it empty for no premium threshold. Other snapshot types ignore it. |
| minVolumeOpenInterestRatio | number | For Unusual options activity or Options chain, keeps option records with at least this volume-to-open-interest ratio. Leave it empty for no ratio threshold. Other snapshot types ignore it. |
| maxItems | integer | Stops after this many records for any snapshot type. Leave it empty to return all available results until the source is exhausted. |

**Default input**

The hosted default input for a successful QA run is:

```json
{
  "assetClass": "all",
  "optionType": "both"
}
```

Choose target for every run. Add symbols for a symbol-based snapshot. Fields that do not apply to the selected snapshot type are ignored.

#### 🧾 Output

**Run output**

| Field | Type | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| defaultDataset | string | URL for the rows saved in the default dataset. |

#### ❓ FAQ

##### Can I get stock and ETF quotes from this Actor?

Yes. Choose Stock and ETF quotes, then add one or more symbols. Quote rows include price, change, volume, trade time, source URL, and available valuation or dividend fields.

##### How do I scan unusual options activity?

Choose Unusual options activity and select an asset class. You can also choose calls, puts, or both and set volume, premium, or volume-to-open-interest-ratio filters. Symbols are ignored for this market-wide scan.

##### What happens when I leave Actor Work Limit empty?

The Actor returns all available results until the source is exhausted. A set limit can stop the run earlier, and coverage.truncated shows when it stopped before all available results were returned.

##### What if I need more than one snapshot type?

Choose one target per run. Start another run for a different snapshot type.

##### How can I tell if a snapshot was complete?

Check coverage.availableCount, coverage.returnedCount, coverage.truncated, and coverage.appliedFilters in the dataset rows.

##### What happens if the same story matches more than one symbol?

The Actor saves the first eligible match and ignores later matches. For a financial news row, symbol shows the first submitted symbol that found the story.

##### Why can a field be missing?

Barchart may not supply every optional field for every result. The Actor leaves unavailable source values out instead of making them up.

##### Is the quote data exchange real time?

Quote timing follows Barchart's available public feed, which can be delayed. This Actor does not promise exchange-real-time data.

##### Do I need Barchart credentials or an API key?

No. The Actor does not ask for buyer-supplied Barchart login credentials or API keys. It reads publicly reachable Barchart data.

##### Does this provide historical backfills or trading advice?

No. Each run is a point-in-time snapshot. The Actor returns source data for analysis and does not give investment advice or place trades.

##### Does this replace a stock screener?

No. This Actor focuses on Barchart financial news, stock and ETF quotes, and options snapshots, not a general stock screener.
