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 ### 📰 MarketWatch news and quotes for daily research Built for investors, analysts, researchers, and news teams, this Actor collects MarketWatch articles from editorial sections, search pages, and direct story URLs. It can also return stock quotes with related news. You get structured headlines, links, authors, dates, summaries, article text, images, keywords, tickers, and quote fields for review or downstream work. - Review **[Nasdaq today](https://apify.com/maximedupre/marketwatch/examples/nasdaq-today)** in a MarketWatch article dataset. - Find **[AMD news](https://apify.com/maximedupre/marketwatch/examples/amd-news)** for a focused company review. - Check **[why is the stock market going down today](https://apify.com/maximedupre/marketwatch/examples/why-is-the-stock-market-going-down-today)** against current MarketWatch stories. - Collect **[stock market news today](https://apify.com/maximedupre/marketwatch/examples/stock-market-news-today)** for a daily market review. - Explore **[why is AMD stock falling today](https://apify.com/maximedupre/marketwatch/examples/why-is-amd-stock-falling-today)** through related MarketWatch coverage. - Review **[stock market close today](https://apify.com/maximedupre/marketwatch/examples/stock-market-close-today)** after trading ends. - Gather **[AppLovin stock news](https://apify.com/maximedupre/marketwatch/examples/applovin-stock-news)** for company research. #### 📦 MarketWatch article and stock quote data Each saved row is either a MarketWatch article or a stock quote. Article rows can include the headline, canonical URL, author, section, publish and update times, summary, description, lead image, available text, paragraphs, keywords, and stock tickers. Stock quote rows include a symbol, company, price changes, quote time, and related news links. Optional fields can be `null`, and optional arrays can be empty when the source does not provide them. If the same article is found more than once, the Actor saves the first eligible match and skips later copies. #### ▶️ Run a MarketWatch collection 1. Choose one target: `sections`, `searchPages`, `storyUrls`, or `stockQuotes`. 2. Add the matching section URL list, search page URL, story URL list, or stock symbol list. 3. For article targets, set an article limit or leave it empty to return all available articles until the source is exhausted. The article limit does not limit stock quotes. 4. Click **Start**. Open the dataset when the run ends. #### ⚙️ Input Choose one `target` for each run and fill only the fields for that target. | Field | Type | What it does | | --- | --- | --- | | `target` | string | Chooses editorial sections, search pages, direct story URLs, or stock quotes. | | `sectionUrls` | array of URL objects | Adds MarketWatch section URLs when `target` is `sections`. | | `searchPageUrl` | string | Adds one MarketWatch search results URL when `target` is `searchPages`.

Those fields can be `null`, and optional arrays can be empty. ##### What happens when the same article appears more than once? The Actor saves the first eligible match and skips later copies of that article. ##### Does it collect live charts or historical prices? No. It collects MarketWatch articles and stock quote fields. It does not provide historical prices, company fundamentals, or live charts. ##### Does it need a MarketWatch login? No. It collects publicly reachable MarketWatch data and does not bypass paywalls or access controls. ##### Can I download the data in other formats? Yes.
