why

Stop doing Yahoo Finance by hand

The Yahoo Finance tasks you repeat (open a ticker, read quote and stats, run a screener) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But Yahoo Finance has no general public API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. Yahoo Finance's public API was deprecated; live quote pages and screeners are read in the browser.

Writ closes that gap. Record the Yahoo Finance task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

Yahoo Finance tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real Yahoo Finance action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }export results

Workflows extract structured fields such as quote price, day change, market cap, P/E ratio along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your Yahoo Finance automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

✦Record itDo the Yahoo Finance task once in a real browser (open a ticker, then read quote and stats) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
✦Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on Yahoo Finance in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
✦Discover itLet API discovery watch Yahoo Finance's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on Yahoo Finance

The reason Yahoo Finance is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

Yahoo Finance quote pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture quotes and figures that update live.

Run the Yahoo Finance automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

✦On a scheduleRun the Yahoo Finance task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
✦On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
✦On a changeWatch Yahoo Finance for price threshold or day-change threshold and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the Yahoo Finance workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when Yahoo Finance changes. It runs on your own Yahoo Finance account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/yahoo-finance/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the Yahoo Finance automation too.

Trigger the Yahoo Finance automation on a change

Monitor Yahoo Finance for price threshold, day-change threshold, analyst-rating change and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your Yahoo Finance automation in seconds. Monitor Yahoo Finance ▸

The same Yahoo Finance automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating Yahoo Finance for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/yahoo-finance/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the Yahoo Finance task too.

Automating Yahoo Finance: questions

How do I automate Yahoo Finance?
Record the Yahoo Finance task once in the recorder (open a ticker, read quote and stats, run a screener) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own Yahoo Finance account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate Yahoo Finance this way?
Collect Yahoo Finance data you have the right to access and respect its Terms of Use and rate limits. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does Yahoo Finance automation work behind login and 2FA?
Yahoo Finance quote pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture quotes and figures that update live. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated Yahoo Finance session.
Can I run the Yahoo Finance automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when Yahoo Finance is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
