Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Your search filter may be too narrow. Try removing the ticker search or using a shorter substring. Also check that the selected timeframe has data on SwaggyStocks.
Why do I only get 10 records?
Free users are limited to a 10-row preview. Upgrade to a paid plan and set maxItems higher to get more records.
The sentiment score looks different from the website.
SwaggyStocks updates its scores periodically. Run the Actor again to get the latest snapshot, and make sure you are comparing the same timeframe.
Can I get more than 1,000,000 records?
No, the maximum is 1,000,000 records per run. If you need more, split your request by timeframe or search filter and merge the results.
FAQ
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What is SwaggyStocks? | SwaggyStocks is a website that tracks stock tickers mentioned on the r/WallStreetBets subreddit and assigns each one a sentiment score based on the language used in the posts. |
| Do I need a Reddit account or API key? | No. This Actor reads the public SwaggyStocks sentiment board directly, so you do not need a Reddit account, OAuth app, or API key. |
| What does the sentiment score mean? | The sentiment score is a value computed by SwaggyStocks that reflects how positive or negative the WSB discussion around a ticker is. Higher values mean more positive chatter. |
| How many records can I get? | Free users get a 10-row preview. Paid users can set maxItems up to 1,000,000, but the actual number returned depends on how many tickers SwaggyStocks lists for the selected timeframe. |
| Can I filter by a specific ticker? | Yes. Use the 'Ticker symbol' input to return only tickers whose symbol contains your search text, case-insensitive. For example, 'NVDA' returns NVDA, or 'AI' returns all tickers with 'AI' in the symbol. |
| Which timeframes are available? | You can choose the last 12 hours, last 24 hours, or last 7 days. The timeframe controls how far back SwaggyStocks aggregates WSB mentions. |
| What format is the output? | The Actor returns a flat dataset that you can export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML from the Apify platform. |
| Is this real-time data? | The data reflects the latest snapshot from SwaggyStocks at the time the Actor runs. Run it on a schedule to keep your dataset fresh. |
| Can I run this on a schedule? | Yes. You can schedule the Actor to run hourly, daily, or weekly from the Apify console, and each run will pull the latest sentiment board. |
| Does this include the actual Reddit posts? | No. This Actor returns the aggregated ticker list from SwaggyStocks, not the underlying Reddit posts or comments. |
