GET /v1/yahoo-finance/screeners1 credit Failed requests are free
About this endpoint
GET /v1/yahoo-finance/screeners returns data.screeners and data.count. Each row carries id, canonicalName, title, description and quoteType. The catalogue lists 41 predefined screener ids, from MOST_ACTIVES and equity to crypto, ETF, mutual-fund, options and private-company lists.
Every row has a title and a description. quoteType is null for the one screener that does not name an instrument kind (analyst_strong_buy_stocks). Use this route once to discover ids rather than hard-coding them.
Yahoo Finance Screeners API FAQ
How many predefined screeners are there?
The catalogue lists 41 ids. They cover equities, crypto, ETFs, mutual funds, options and private companies.
Is quoteType always set?
quoteType is the instrument kind the screener runs over (equity, crypto, ETF, mutual fund, option or private company). analyst_strong_buy_stocks does not name one, so it is null.
How do I read one screener?
Pass the id from data.screeners to GET /v1/yahoo-finance/screeners/{screenerId}. Use sort, order and limit to shape the page.
How many credits does this route cost?
Pricing is documented on the operation in the API registry (shown on this page). Confirm on every response with meta.creditsCharged: that field is the billing source of truth.
