NSE Kenya Market Data

Live market movers from the Nairobi Securities Exchange (nse.co.ke) in one API call. This Actor returns the day's top gainers, top losers, and most-traded stocks by volume, updated in real time during NSE trading hours — no NSE data subscription, no manual checking.

What you get

Each dataset item is one stock entry:

Field	Description
category	gainer, loser, or mover
ticker	NSE stock symbol (e.g. SCOM, KPLC, EQTY)
price_kes	Latest traded price in Kenyan Shillings
change_pct	Percentage change with sign (e.g. +9.97, -3.15)
volume	Shares traded (for most-traded stocks)
source	Data source attribution (NSE Kenya)
source_url	Source page
scraped_at	ISO timestamp of collection

Real sample output (JSON):

{
  "category": "gainer",
    "ticker": "KPLC",
      "price_kes": 5.26,
        "change_pct": "+5.20",
          "source": "NSE Kenya",
            "source_url": "https://www.nse.co.ke/",
              "scraped_at": "2026-09-09T13:49:26.685Z"
              }
              ```

              ## How to use it

              1. Choose a Data Type: all (default), gainers, losers, or movers.
              2. Click Start. A run completes in a few minutes and returns the current top movers.
              3. Export as JSON/CSV/Excel, or connect to Google Sheets, Slack, Make, n8n, or Zapier.

              ### Input

              | Field | Type | Default | Options |
              |---|---|---|---|
              | dataType | string | all | all, gainers, losers, movers |

              Example input:
              ```json
              { "dataType": "gainers" }
              ```

              ## Use cases

              - Retail investors — a daily snapshot of NSE movers without logging into broker apps.
              - Fintech & investment apps — embed NSE market-mover data via the Apify API.
              - Analysts & researchers — build historical datasets of daily movers with scheduled runs.
              - Newsletters & Telegram/WhatsApp market updates — schedule a run at market close and auto-publish the day's movers.
              - AI agents & chatbots — give an assistant live awareness of the Kenyan market (see MCP below).

              ## Automate it

              Create a schedule in Apify Console (e.g. weekdays at 15:10 EAT, shortly after the NSE close) and pipe the dataset to Google Sheets or a messaging integration. Over time this builds a historical record of NSE daily movers — data that is otherwise hard to obtain for free.

              ## For AI agents (MCP)

              Call this Actor through the Apify MCP server (https://mcp.apify.com):

              Run wafspaul/nse-kenya-market-data with dataType 'gainers' and summarize today's top Kenyan stocks.

              Output is small, structured JSON (typically ~15 items) — ideal for direct use in agent conversations without flooding the context window.

              ## Pricing

              Free to use — you only pay for the Apify platform usage of each run (roughly $0.05–$0.10 per run at current compute rates).

              ## FAQ

              When is data live? During NSE trading hours (weekdays, 9:00–15:00 EAT). Outside trading hours the Actor returns the last session's figures.

              Is this official NSE data? Data is scraped from the publicly available pages of nse.co.ke. It is suitable for research and informational use; for regulated/commercial redistribution, consult NSE's data licensing.
