## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## US Stock Market Movers & Screener

The stock lists every trader opens first — **top gainers, losers, and most-active** names — plus a **full-market screener**, from official **NASDAQ** market-activity data. No API key, no account.

- **Movers** — the biggest gainers, biggest losers, and most-active stocks right now, each with price, percent change, volume, market cap, and sector. A sensible price/volume floor keeps the lists to real liquid stocks, not penny-stock noise.
- **Screener** — filter the entire US market (~7,000 stocks) by sector, market cap, price, percent change, and volume, sorted how you want.

### Who uses it

- **Retail traders & investors** — the daily "what's moving" scan, on a schedule.
- **Finance newsletters & dashboards** — auto-generate a market-movers section.
- **Quants & analysts** — pull a filtered universe (e.g. Tech, $1B+ cap, up 5%+) for models.

Pairs with our TradingView, Stock Earnings Calendar, and SEC filing actors.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `mode` | `movers` or `screener`. |
| `moverType` | `all` / `gainers` / `losers` / `most_active` (movers mode). |
| `count` | Stocks per mover list. |
| `minPrice` / `maxPrice` | Price filter (movers default to a $1 floor). |
| `minMarketCap` / `maxMarketCap` | Market-cap filter (screener). |
| `minPctChange` | Keep only stocks up at least this percent (screener). |
| `minVolume` | Volume floor (movers default 50,000). |
| `sector` / `country` | Text filters (screener). |
| `sortBy` | `pct_change` / `volume` / `market_cap` / `price` (screener). |
| `maxRows` | Screener row cap. |

### Output

One row per stock: `symbol`, `name`, `price`, `netChange`, `pctChange`, `volume`, `marketCap`, `sector`, `industry`, `country`, `ipoYear`, `moverCategory`, `url`.

Schedule it daily (or intraday) to feed alerts and dashboards.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$0.003 per stock row**. The first 2 rows of every run are free.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

movers = top gainers, losers, and most-active stocks. screener = filter the whole US market by your criteria.

## `moverType` (type: `string`):

Which mover lists to return.

## `count` (type: `integer`):

How many stocks per mover list (gainers/losers/most-active).

## `minPrice` (type: `integer`):

Skip stocks priced below this. Movers default to a $1 floor so lists are real liquid stocks, not penny pumps.

## `maxPrice` (type: `integer`):

Skip stocks priced above this. 0 = no maximum.

## `minMarketCap` (type: `integer`):

Skip stocks below this market cap, e.g. 1000000000 for $1B+. 0 = no minimum.

## `maxMarketCap` (type: `integer`):

Skip stocks above this market cap. 0 = no maximum.

## `minPctChange` (type: `integer`):

Keep only stocks up at least this percent today, e.g. 5 for +5% and up. 0 = no filter.

## `minVolume` (type: `integer`):

Skip stocks with volume below this. Movers default to 50,000 for liquidity.

## `sector` (type: `string`):

Keep only stocks in a sector, e.g. Technology, Health Care, Energy, Finance. Empty = all sectors.

## `country` (type: `string`):

Keep only stocks from a country, e.g. United States, China. Empty = all.

## `sortBy` (type: `string`):

How to order screener results.

## `maxRows` (type: `integer`):

Cap on screener rows returned. Controls total cost.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("scrapemint/stock-market-movers").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("scrapemint/stock-market-movers").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call scrapemint/stock-market-movers --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,scrapemint/stock-market-movers"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
