Under the hood

How our Morningstar pipeline handles the hard parts

Financial sites employ aggressive rate limiting and complex data rendering. Here is how we extract clean data.

XHR Interception
Bypassing canvas charts for raw data

Morningstar renders historical performance and asset allocation via client-side canvas elements. We intercept the underlying GraphQL and REST XHR payloads to extract the raw JSON arrays directly, ensuring high precision and zero OCR errors.

Rate Limiting
Residential proxy rotation

High-frequency requests to ticker pages trigger IP bans. We distribute requests across a pool of US residential proxies, normalising request headers and simulating human delay patterns to maintain 99.98% uptime.

Data Normalisation
Cleaning unstructured financial formats

Financial data often mixes strings and floats ('$1.2B', '45 bps'). Our pipeline includes a strict typing layer that converts all metrics into machine-readable floats and integers before delivery.

Pagination
Deep portfolio extraction

Extracting full portfolio holdings requires managing stateful pagination tokens. We handle session cookies and token rotation to extract thousands of holding rows per fund without dropping records.

Monitoring
Null-rate and outlier detection

A missing NAV breaks downstream quant models. We alert on null-rate spikes and standard deviation outliers in price data, pausing delivery if source data is corrupted.

Why DataFlirt

"Financial models require precision. Scraping Morningstar means translating complex XHR payloads into strict, typed relational schemas."

Extracting financial data is not about parsing HTML. It requires intercepting backend API calls, managing stateful pagination for massive holding lists, and enforcing strict data types. DataFlirt handles the infrastructure so your quants can focus on alpha.

Common questions.

About morningstar.com scraping, legality, and pipeline operations.

Ask us directly →
Is scraping Morningstar legal?

Scraping publicly available information from Morningstar is generally permissible under applicable law. DataFlirt targets only public, non-authenticated fund, equity, and rating data. We do not extract paywalled Morningstar Premium content or circumvent authentication walls. Clients should review Morningstar terms of service and consult legal counsel for specific use cases.

How do you extract data from dynamic charts?

Instead of attempting to parse canvas elements or SVG paths, our Playwright integration intercepts the underlying XHR/GraphQL requests that Morningstar's frontend uses to request the data. We extract the raw JSON arrays directly from the network layer.

Can you extract full portfolio holdings?

Yes. While the default view often shows only the top 25 holdings, we can paginate through the complete holdings list for funds where public disclosure is available, extracting weights, shares, and sector data for every position.

How fresh is the NAV data?

We typically schedule pipelines to run shortly after market close to capture updated daily NAVs. Pipeline completion time depends on the size of your ticker list, but most daily runs complete within a 2-4 hour window.

Do you support international tickers?

Yes. We can extract data for funds and equities listed on global exchanges. You can provide Morningstar specific identifiers, tickers, or ISINs, and we handle the mapping and extraction.

Do you extract Morningstar Premium data?

No. We do not bypass login walls or extract paywalled content such as full Morningstar Analyst Reports or premium quantitative models.

How do you handle data type conversions?

Our extraction schema explicitly defines types for all fields. Strings like '1.5B' are converted to floats (1500000000.0), percentages are normalised, and dates are cast to ISO 8601 format before delivery.
