Google Finance Scraper API
Google Finance API: get current public snapshots for stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto, and forex in one unified Quote shape. Quote and markets repeats may use a 60-second cache, while ticker-search repeats may use a 2-minute cache; exact cache hits cost 0 credits, and prices can also reflect exchange delay. Replaces stitching Yahoo Finance, Alpha Vantage, and Finnhub.
TL;DR
The Google Finance API by SocialCrawl returns Google Finance data as structured JSON — 3 endpoints behind one x-api-key, from 1 credit per call. It shares one unified schema with 45 other platforms, so the same client code works everywhere.

- 2
Call the Quote endpoint
Send a GET request with your key in the x-api-key header. Here is the full Google Finance Quote request:
curl -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \ "https://www.socialcrawl.dev/v1/google_finance/quote?keyword=GOOGL%3ANASDAQ" - 3
Read the unified JSON
The response comes back in the shared SocialCrawl schema. Where the endpoint supports them and the required source inputs are present, fields such as engagement_rate and content_category are filled in too. Your client can rely on the shared envelope while treating enriched fields as optional.
Requirements and limits
Everything you need to know before your first Google Finance call.
- Authentication
- One API key, passed in the x-api-key request header. No OAuth flow, no app review, and no per-platform credentials to manage.
- Pagination
- List endpoints return a next_cursor and a has_more flag. Pass the cursor back to page through results, with the same contract on every platform.
- Credits
- Calls start at 1 credits and are deducted per request. Every account starts with 100 free credits, and credits never expire.
- Rate limits
- There are no artificial rate limits. Your credit balance is the only throttle, so you can run requests concurrently as fast as you need.

}How does SocialCrawl handle 46 different platforms?
Social media scraping is hard. Schema normalization, authentication, rate limits, pagination — we handle it all before your data arrives.
Write once, query them all.
46 platforms return 46 different JSON shapes. We normalize every response into one consistent structure.
Metrics ready before you ask.
Normalized records include supported metrics such as engagement rate, estimated reach, content category, and language when the required source inputs are available.
One cursor, every platform.
Every platform paginates differently. We give you one consistent cursor-based system.
Fresh when it matters. Free on repeat.
Cache misses fetch current public data. Identical requests are cached for 2 to 30 minutes by data type and cost 0 credits on a hit; send Cache-Control: no-cache for a billed refresh.
Auth, proxies, and rate limits — handled.
Platform authentication, IP rotation, rate limit management — abstracted away. Just send a GET request.
What developers say
The unified schema saved us weeks of integration work. One parser handles every platform.
Our agents process social data from 46 platforms with zero platform-specific logic — one schema, end to end.
I paste an influencer's URL and get everything — followers, engagement rate, content categories — without touching code.
We switched from building our own scrapers. SocialCrawl handles the hard stuff, we focus on insights.
The computed fields alone — engagement_rate, estimated_reach, content_category — saved us an entire data pipeline.
How does SocialCrawl compare to Yahoo Finance / Alpha Vantage for Google Finance data?
Same Google Finance data, two very different paths. Auth, rate limits, schema, and cost — side by side.
| Feature | SocialCrawl | Yahoo Finance / Alpha Vantage |
|---|---|---|
| Data source | Current Google Finance snapshots; quote and markets cache for 60 seconds, ticker search for 2 minutes; exact hits cost 0 credits | Yahoo Finance scraping plus rate-limited free API tiers |
| Unified schema | One Quote shape across stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto, forex | Divergent shapes per provider — remap each data source |
| One call vs many | Price + graph + fundamentals + financials + peers in one request | Separate endpoints (or providers) for each of those |
| Instrument coverage | Stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto, and forex in one API | Stocks well covered; crypto and forex often a separate product |
| Pricing | 5cr per quote, 1cr per search; 100 free credits, no card | Free tiers throttle requests; full access needs paid plans |
