Google shut down its Finance API years ago and never replaced it. The Google Finance API on Apify is the practical stand-in: send a ticker like GOOGL:NASDAQ and get the real-time quote, price history graph, key statistics, related news, and financial statements back as one clean JSON item. Symbols cover stocks, ETFs, indices, currencies, and crypto, so BTC-USD works exactly like AAPL:NASDAQ.

It fits three jobs cleanly: financial research that needs statements and key stats in a dataframe, market dashboards that pull index levels and FX on a refresh cycle, and portfolio monitoring that batch-fetches a whole watchlist in one run. Billing is per event, so you only pay for the symbols you fetch.

Ready-made runs you can copy:

Download NVDA stock price history to CSV
Get NSE stock quotes by API
Market data for a finance dashboard
Monitor a stock portfolio with Google Finance
Get live stock quotes in Claude via MCP

The Actor is also exposed over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude, Claude Code, and Cursor can call it as a tool and fetch a live quote mid-conversation instead of guessing from training data.
