Introduction
In today's data-driven investing landscape, individuals and institutions rely on accurate and timely financial information to make informed decisions. Platforms like Yahoo Finance and Groww provide real-time data on stock prices, mutual fund NAVs, and portfolio performance—but for analysts, fintech startups, and investment platforms, manual access isn’t scalable.
Whether you're tracking market volatility, building algorithmic trading models, or benchmarking fund performance, the ability to scrape financial data reliably and in real time is critical.
This is where Actowiz Solutions steps in—offering powerful and compliant financial data scraping capabilities that enable mutual fund return tracking, investment portfolio scraping, and real-time stock price extraction from platforms like Yahoo Finance and Groww.
Why Scrape Financial Data?
While APIs exist, they often come with:
- Limited request quotas
- High licensing costs
- Incomplete asset coverage
- Lack of support for mutual fund data in India
Scraping data directly from trusted sources like Yahoo Finance and Groww enables:
- Real-time price alerts for stocks and mutual funds
- NAV and return tracking for financial products
- Market sentiment analysis
- Competitor fund benchmarking
- Portfolio performance aggregation
