Google Finance Quote API
Returns one instrument's full quote: live price and intraday graph, market cap, P/E, dividend yield, 52 week range, company profile, financials, and peers.
GET /v1/finance/quoteLast updated November 2026Maintained by the SocialCrawl team
When to use the Google Finance Quote API
Use it when you know the exact symbol, like GOOGL:NASDAQ or BTC-USD; ticker-search gives you that symbol from a name.
From the API reference
Returns ONE rich, unified Quote for a financial instrument keyed by its keyword (TICKER:EXCHANGE for stocks/ETFs/indices, e.g. 'GOOGL:NASDAQ' / 'VOO:NYSEARCA' / '.INX:INDEXSP', or a forex/crypto pair, e.g. 'EUR-USD' / 'BTC-USD'). A single call bundles the live price + intraday graph, fundamentals (market cap, P/E, dividend yield, 52-week range, volumes), the company profile (CEO, founded, HQ, employees), quarterly + annual financials (equities), and peer instruments: all on ONE canonical shape across stocks, ETFs, indices, crypto, and forex, distinguished by quote.type. Forex/crypto pairs populate quote.pair (base/quote symbols) and have a null ticker. Get the exact keyword from /v1/finance/ticker-search. Read live from the Google Finance SERP (~5-10s).

What can you do with the Quote API?
The Quote endpoint gives you structured Google Finance data with computed fields in a single request. No scraping infrastructure to build or maintain.
Example Request
# GET /v1/finance/quote: 5 credits per call. Cache hits are free and failed calls are refunded.
# Check the price first for 0 credits: add dry_run=1 to the query. Nothing is fetched or charged.
# --max-time 60: the API's own time limit for this endpoint.
# --retry 3: retries timeouts, 429 and 5xx, honoring Retry-After.
# -o response.json keeps only the final attempt's body.
# One Idempotency-Key per request, reused on every retry, so a retried call is never charged twice.
