Build a Yahoo Finance price tracker in minutes

Point the recorder at a Yahoo Finance page, mark the quote price, and Writ builds a Monitor that reads it on a schedule and fires a workflow on a drop, running on your own account, on a page you are authorized to use.

  1. 1
    Open a Yahoo Finance item in the recorder

    Point the recorder at the Yahoo Finance page and mark the quote price. Writ renders Yahoo Finance in real Chromium, so it reads values that load with JavaScript, not list-price theater.

  2. 2
    Set the schedule and target

    Choose how often Writ checks (as fast as every 10s) and a target price or percentage drop. Each check records the quote price, building a real price history.

  3. 3
    Act on the drop

    A matching change fires a workflow: notify you across six providers, log the new quote price, or trigger an optional approved workflow on your own authenticated Yahoo Finance account.

Yahoo Finance price tracking questions

How does Yahoo Finance price tracking work?
Writ sets up a Monitor on the Yahoo Finance page you choose and reads the quote price in a real browser, so it catches values that load with JavaScript. It checks as fast as every 10s and records each reading, so you see a true price history and get alerted on a real change.
Is there a ready-made Yahoo Finance price tracker I can install?
Yes. Point the recorder at the Yahoo Finance page, mark the quote price, and Writ builds a Monitor that reads it on a schedule. No catalog listing required; it takes minutes.
Can it act automatically when Yahoo Finance drops to my price?
Yes. A price drop can trigger an approved workflow on your own authenticated Yahoo Finance account. It runs with guardrails on by default: a dry-run mode, a confirm gate, a rate limit, and idempotency so one detected change never triggers the action twice.
How will I be notified of a Yahoo Finance price change?
Through any of six providers (Email, SMS, WhatsApp, Signal, Pushover, or a custom webhook), or by running a full workflow that records the new quote price or pushes it to a destination.
Is it allowed to track prices on Yahoo Finance?
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.
