Overview
TradingView Ideas Scraper
Scrape TradingView ideas from any symbol, sorted by popularity or recency, up to a million per run. Each idea comes with its direction, author, and engagement metrics. No login or API key. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
TradingView's official API requires authentication and rate limits. This reads the public ideas feed directly, filtered by symbol, direction, and sort order, and returns each match in one fixed schema.

| Quantitative analysts | Build sentiment datasets from bullish and bearish idea counts |
| Crypto traders | Monitor BTCUSD and other pairs for emerging trade ideas |
| Financial content creators | Find popular ideas to reference in newsletters or videos |
What it does

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Check your filters. If you set a symbol that is rarely discussed or a direction that is uncommon, there may be no matching ideas. Try leaving the symbol empty or setting direction to Any.
Why did the run stop before reaching my maximum ideas?
The Actor stops when there are no more ideas matching your filters. If you set a very specific symbol or direction, the available ideas may be fewer than your maximum.
Why are some ideas missing engagement metrics?
TradingView may not show all metrics for every idea. If an idea is new or has low engagement, some fields may be empty or zero.
Can I get historical ideas?
The Actor only returns ideas currently available in the public feed. It does not access historical archives. For historical data, you would need to run the Actor regularly and store the results.
