Learn how to automatically capture your Yahoo Finance stock pages with PagePixels.

Introduction

PagePixels is a screenshot automation tool that you can use to take automated scheduled screenshots of web pages, including screenshots of Yahoo Finance stock pages.

PagePixels is free to start, and this tutorial shows you the steps to automatically capture screenshots of a Yahoo Finance stock page on an hourly schedule.

Example

Quick start with a screenshot template

The quickest way to start capturing your Yahoo Finance stock page is to use the screenshot template below:

Note: the template uses Advanced Scheduling to only take hourly screenshots during market hours (Mondays-Fridays, 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM, EST).

And if you prefer to set up your Yahoo Finance stock page screenshot automation from scratch, step-by-step instructions are available in the next section.

How to automate screenshots of Yahoo Finance stock pages

To take recurring screenshots of a Yahoo Finance stock page every hour:

1

Create a screenshot

Log in to your PagePixels account, and click the "+Create Screenshot" button.

2

Set your schedule

By default, recurring screenshots are set to every 5 minutes.

For an hourly screenshot, change the default frequency values from every "5" "Minutes" to every "1" "Hours" using the input field and drop-down menu.

3

Add URL

Copy and paste a link to a Yahoo Finance stock page into the "Website URL to Capture" field.

4

Increase "Time to wait" value

Because data visualizations can take a long time to load, we recommend increasing the "Time to wait" value from 1500 to 8000 (value is in milliseconds).

If the visualizations are still not fully loaded, you can increase this value further (max is 20000).

5

Check "No Ads" and "No Cookie Banner" options

Tick the "No Ads" and "No Cookie Banner" checkboxes to prevent ads and cookie banners from displaying in your screenshot.

6

Save Screenshot

Click the green "Save Screenshot" button (top-right).

Your screenshot automation is officially set, and your first screenshot will be taken shortly.
