Documentation

n8n-nodes-google-finance-api

An n8n community node that fetches a Google Finance quote for a ticker and returns the price, movement, and summary. It is backed by the Google Finance API on Apify and bills per result, so there are no subscriptions and no minimums.

What it does

Give the node a ticker and exchange, and it returns the company name, stock symbol, exchange, current price, currency, and price movement, along with the price graph, financials, and related news. It also works as an AI Agent tool, so an agent can quote markets on demand.

  • Look up stocks, ETFs, indices, and crypto by ticker
  • Choose a price-graph window from 1 day to max
  • Choose how much data to return: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields

Installation

Follow the n8n community nodes installation guide:

  1. In n8n, open Settings > Community Nodes.
  2. Select Install.
  3. Enter n8n-nodes-google-finance-api as the npm package name.
  4. Agree to the risks of using community nodes, then select Install.

After it installs, the Google Finance node appears in the nodes panel.

n8n Cloud only allows verified community nodes. Until this node is verified, install it on a self-hosted n8n instance.

Credentials

You need a free Apify account and an API token.

  1. Sign in to the Apify Console.
  2. Open Settings > Integrations and copy your Personal API token.
  3. In n8n, create a new Apify API credential and paste the token.
  4. Use the credential's Test button to confirm it works.

The node also supports Apify OAuth2 if you prefer to connect that way.

Operations

Quote > Get returns a finance quote for a ticker.

Parameter Description
Ticker Query The ticker and exchange, for example GOOGL:NASDAQ or BTC-USD. Required.
Language Code Two-letter language code for the results. Defaults to en.
Window Price-graph window: 1 Day to Max.
Output How much data to return: Simplified, Raw, or Selected Fields.

Output

One item is returned per ticker. The Output parameter lets you choose how much to return:

  • Simplified (default): a compact object with title, stock, exchange, price, currency, changePercent, changeValue, movement, and date. This mode is also used automatically when the node runs as an AI Agent tool, to keep responses small.
  • Raw: every field the API returns, using the original field names below.
  • Selected Fields: pick exactly which fields to include.

Fields (Raw and Selected Fields)

Field Type Description
summary object Title, stock, exchange, price, currency, and price movement
graph array Price points over the selected window
markets object Related market quotes, when available
knowledge_graph object Company knowledge panel, when available
news_results array Related news, when available
financials object Key financials, when available
discover_more array Related tickers
search_parameters object The parameters used for the lookup
search_metadata object Run metadata
search_timestamp string When the quote was fetched (ISO 8601)

Example workflows

1. Daily portfolio price log

  1. Schedule Trigger: run each market close.
  2. Google Finance: Ticker Query each holding, Output Simplified.
  3. Google Sheets: append stock, price, and changePercent.

2. Price-move alert

  1. Schedule Trigger: run hourly.
  2. Google Finance: your ticker.
  3. IF / Slack: alert when changePercent exceeds a threshold.

3. Let an AI Agent quote markets

  1. AI Agent node.
  2. Attach Google Finance as a tool.
  3. Ask "What's Apple trading at?" The agent calls the node (in Simplified mode) and answers with the live quote.

Pricing

This node calls the Google Finance API on Apify, which is billed pay-per-result, with no subscription and no minimums. Apify also includes a free monthly usage tier that covers typical volumes. See the Actor page for current rates.
