Capabilities

Extract financial history at scale

Macrotrends relies heavily on JavaScript chart libraries to display data. Our pipeline parses the underlying data objects directly, bypassing visual rendering to extract clean time-series arrays.

Historical Price Series

Extract decades of daily OHLCV data, market capitalisation, and split-adjusted pricing for thousands of equities.

Financial Statement Extraction

Parse income statements, balance sheets, and cash flow statements across annual and quarterly reporting periods.

Macroeconomic Indicator Tracking

Capture GDP, inflation, unemployment, and interest rate histories across 190+ countries.

Key Ratio Calculation

Extract historical PE ratios, price-to-book, ROE, and dividend yields mapped to specific trading days.

Commodity & Forex Data

Track historical spot prices for gold, crude oil, natural gas, and major currency pairs.

Highcharts Data Parsing

We intercept and parse the raw JSON configurations embedded in Highcharts JavaScript objects to extract exact data points.

Global Demographic Stats

Extract population growth, life expectancy, and demographic shifts compiled from UN and World Bank sources.

Automated Ticker Discovery

Crawl index components and sector listings to maintain an updated universe of active stock tickers.

Scheduled Updates

Configure daily or weekly pipelines to append new financial reports and closing prices to your historical datasets.

Under the hood

How our Macrotrends pipeline handles the hard parts

Extracting data from charting platforms requires specific techniques. Here is how we build resilient pipelines.

Data extraction
Bypassing DOM rendering for raw data

Macrotrends displays tabular data within interactive Highcharts. Instead of scraping the visual DOM, our pipeline intercepts the embedded JavaScript objects and extracts the raw JSON arrays, ensuring precise numerical accuracy without UI interference.

Rate limiting
Distributed request pacing

Historical data sites implement strict rate limits to prevent bulk downloading. We distribute requests across a large pool of residential IPs, pacing our crawls to mimic normal human research behaviour and avoid IP bans.

Data normalisation
Handling corporate actions

Stock splits and ticker changes complicate historical data. We track these corporate actions and normalise the time-series data, ensuring your quantitative models receive clean, adjusted historical prices.

Schema stability
Resilient parsers

When Macrotrends updates its site structure or charting libraries, standard CSS selectors fail. Our parsers target the underlying data structures and use fallback regex patterns to maintain pipeline continuity.

Monitoring
Time-series continuity checks

Missing data points ruin backtests. Our observability stack alerts on missing dates, sudden value drops, and schema drift, ensuring the historical series remains contiguous.

Applications

Why DataFlirt

"Macrotrends holds decades of financial history, but extracting structured time-series data from rendered charts requires purpose-built parsing infrastructure."

Most teams struggle to extract data embedded within Highcharts JavaScript objects or paginated financial tables. DataFlirt bypasses visual rendering entirely, targeting the underlying data structures to deliver clean, normalised time-series records directly to your warehouse.

Infrastructure

Infrastructure powering the Macrotrends pipeline

Open-source tooling on proven cloud infra — no vendor lock-in, full observability.

ScrapyPlaywrightPython 3.12RedisPostgreSQLApache AirflowAWS LambdaS3CloudWatch2CaptchaCapSolverResidential ProxiesDockerKubernetesGrafanaPrometheus
Scrapy + Playwright Stack

Scrapy handles crawl orchestration and retry logic. Playwright handles JavaScript execution for complex chart rendering when static parsing is insufficient.

Residential Proxy Infrastructure

We maintain pools of residential ISP proxies. Rotation happens per-request to bypass rate limits and IP bans common on financial data portals.

Cloud-Native Orchestration

Pipelines run on AWS Lambda and ECS. Airflow handles scheduling for daily market close updates. All state is stored in managed Postgres.

Common questions.

About macrotrends.net scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
How do you extract data from Macrotrends charts?

Macrotrends uses Highcharts to render its visual graphs. Instead of scraping the visual elements, our parsers locate the embedded JavaScript configuration objects in the page source and extract the raw JSON arrays containing the exact dates and values.

Can you handle stock splits and ticker changes?

Yes. The data extracted from Macrotrends is already adjusted for stock splits and dividends where applicable. We track ticker symbol changes to ensure historical continuity for companies that have rebranded or merged.

How far back does the historical data go?

We extract the full history available on Macrotrends. For many US equities, this spans multiple decades. Macroeconomic indicators often extend back to 1960, depending on the source agency.

Is the data real-time?

No. Macrotrends provides historical, end-of-day data. Our pipelines typically run after market close to append the latest daily data points to your historical series.

Can you scrape the Premium stock screener?

We focus on public, unauthenticated data. Features locked behind Macrotrends Premium, such as advanced screener exports, require user authentication and are not supported by our standard public pipelines.

What format is best for time-series data?

For large-scale backtesting, we recommend Parquet delivered to S3 or BigQuery. Parquet is highly optimised for columnar time-series queries and reduces storage costs significantly compared to CSV.
