## 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

## Investing.com Financial Scraper

Multi-mode scraper for Investing.com instrument pages. Point it at any equity, crypto, index, commodity, or currency URL and pick which slice of data you need — overview & FAQs, technical indicators, news, forum comments, or raw OHLCV history.

### Why use this actor

- No account, no login, no API key needed
- **Five extraction modes** in one actor — switch with a single input field
- Rich technical detail: aggregate verdict (Strong Buy / Sell / Neutral), 6 moving averages × simple/exp, 12+ indicators (RSI, MACD, ADX, …), classical + Fibonacci + Camarilla + Woodie + DeMark pivot points
- Real-time prices, change %, exchange, currency, and rendered FAQs
- Up to a decade of daily OHLCV bars per call
- Stable JSON output, ready for pipelines, databases, or notebooks

### How it works

1. You give the actor one or more Investing.com instrument URLs (any asset class).
2. You pick an extraction mode — `general_faq`, `technical_indicators`, `news_analysis`, `forum_sentiment`, or `chart_ohlcv`.
3. For the timeframe-sensitive modes (technical indicators and chart history) you pick a window from `1m` up to `1M`.
4. Results stream into your dataset, one record per URL, ready to download as JSON, CSV, or Excel.

No proxies, browsers, or scraper code to manage — the actor handles all of it for you.

### Running on a schedule

Set up an Apify schedule and the actor will keep your dataset fresh automatically — every hour for chart data, every 15 minutes for technical indicators, daily for FAQs. Use the **Schedules** tab in the Apify Console and reuse the same input JSON.

### Other related actors

| Actor | Purpose |
|---|---|
| [`Investing.com News Scraper`](https://apify.com/xtracto/investing-scraper) | Full article body + tickers + comments for a single news URL. Pair with `news_analysis` mode here. |
| Reuters / Bloomberg / WSJ scrapers | Article-level extraction from the original publishers when this actor only returns a headline. |
| Yahoo Finance Scraper | Alternative source for OHLCV and fundamental data. |

# Actor input Schema

## `startUrls` (type: `array`):

List of Investing.com instrument URLs (equities, crypto, indices, commodities, currencies). One record is pushed per URL.

## `extractionMode` (type: `string`):

Which slice of data to scrape for each URL. Routes to a dedicated handler that uses the cheapest HTTP-only path (page HTML, **NEXT\_DATA**, or reverse-engineered AJAX endpoint).

## `timeframe` (type: `string`):

Required for 'technical\_indicators' and 'chart\_ohlcv'. Ignored for the other modes. Intraday values (1m–5H) only work for technical\_indicators; chart\_ohlcv supports 1D/1W/1M.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Apify Proxy configuration. Investing.com sits behind Cloudflare; if the default datacenter pool gets challenged, switch to RESIDENTIAL.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "startUrls": [
    {
      "url": "https://www.investing.com/equities/apple-computer-inc"
