How We Scrape Benzinga for You

  1. You send

    Benzinga pages, filters, fields and a schedule

  2. We run the scrapers

    Built, monitored and repaired by our team

  3. You receive the data

    API, JSON feed or CSV, XLSX and JSON files

Tell us which Benzinga pages you need - the analyst ratings table, one or more calendars, quote pages for a ticker list, news headlines by channel - and how often. We build the crawler, run it on that schedule and keep it working when the site moves a column or renames a tab. The calendar tables render in the browser, so rendering, pacing, proxy rotation and CAPTCHA handling are included in the service rather than left to you. Every table arrives with its own documented schema, keyed on ticker and date, so ratings, earnings and dividends join without manual matching. Start with a free assessment of the pages and tickers in scope, then order a sample. Plans start from EUR 169 a month, or EUR 199 for a one-time extract.

Benzinga Price Targets, Ratings and Calendar Fields

Benzinga publishes its market data as sortable tables, one per calendar, and its analyst ratings pages carry a Get Alert link beside each call. We keep the columns as the site names them and add the ticker, the date read and the page the row came from.

  • Analyst ratingsdate, ticker and company, the research firm, the action, prior and current rating, the price target change from the old to the new target, and Upside/Downside against the current price, with upgrades, downgrades and initiations on pages of their own. Rating words stay as each firm wrote them, from Underperform to Neutral or Buy.
  • Earnings calendarticker, company name, report date, the prior-year EPS and the EPS estimate, Actual EPS and EPS Surprise, and the matching revenue columns up to Actual Rev and Rev Surprise.
  • Dividend calendarEx-Date, ticker, name, dividend, yield, and the announced, record and payable dates.
  • IPO calendarupcoming listings with ticker and company, the expected pricing date, the offering price range, the number of shares offered, the lead underwriter and, where Benzinga states it, the insider lockup period.
  • Economic calendarscheduled macro releases by date and time, with the figures the table prints for each release.
  • Unusual options activitydate, ticker, Put/Call, Strike Price, Exp Date, DTE, Trade Vol, Day Vol, Vol / OI, OI, Trade Type and the bullish or bearish Sentiment label.
  • News headlinesheadline, publish time, channel, the tickers the story is tagged with and the numeric article id from the URL.

Analyst names are left out by default, so a rating row is delivered by firm, action and target. Content reserved for Benzinga Pro and Benzinga Edge members stays out of the dataset.

Benzinga Historical Data and Quote Pages

The calendars look ahead and the ratings pages lead with the newest calls, so Benzinga historical data comes from running the same pages on a schedule and keeping each state.

  • Estimate to actualAn earnings row first appears with the EPS and revenue estimates and fills Actual EPS, Actual Rev and both surprise columns only after the report. Daily runs keep both states, so the pre-report estimate is never lost.
  • Target pathsEach rating row carries the old and the new price target; stacked over months they trace one firm's target on one stock.
  • Lockup and pricing datesIPO rows change as a deal moves from an expected pricing date to a listing, and repeated reads record each step together with the lockup period that follows.
  • Quote pagesFor a ticker list we add the Benzinga quote page at /quote/ plus the ticker and its sub-pages, such as the unusual options table for that one stock.
  • News by tickerStories tagged to a ticker, collected on every run, give a per-company timeline of coverage with publish times, next to the daily roundups of upgrades and downgrades.

Benzinga is a financial news and market data publisher. Its newsroom files short, ticker-tagged stories through the trading day, and recurring roundups - the top ratings upgrades and downgrades, the earnings scheduled for a given day, the week's scheduled IPOs - turn the market tables into daily articles.

For anyone collecting it, the structure is the point. An article address carries its section, such as markets, analyst-ratings or trading-ideas, then the year, the month and a numeric article id, and a corrected story is marked CORRECTED in its headline. Calendars live under /calendars/, among them analyst ratings, earnings, dividends, IPOs, economic releases and unusual options activity. Quote pages sit at /quote/ plus the ticker, with sub-pages such as unusual options for that one stock.

Two paid products sit on top, Benzinga Pro and Benzinga Edge, and part of the content is reserved for their members. The free site is what our Benzinga dataset is built from: any reader can open the analyst ratings pages and sort them by ticker, company, firm or rating change.

What Benzinga Earnings Data and Ratings Are Used For

Benzinga's tables are short-horizon by design: what changed today, what reports this week. Collected on a schedule, they become event data.

  • Rating-change studiesUpgrades, downgrades and initiations, with prior and current target and the firm behind them, are the raw material for measuring how a stock reacts to a call and which firms move prices.
  • Earnings season planningThe earnings calendar with its EPS and revenue estimates gives the week's reporting schedule; the filled rows give the EPS surprise and revenue surprise for every name that reported.
  • Income and corporate eventsEx-date, record and payable dates with the amount and yield drive dividend checks and cash forecasts, while expected IPO pricing dates and lockup periods mark new supply.
  • Macro alignmentEconomic releases, placed in time by the calendar, line up against the price series you already hold.
  • Options flow screensUnusual options activity with strike, expiry, volume against open interest and a sentiment label feeds watchlists and alerts.
  • News classificationHeadlines, channels and ticker tags with publish times train and test models that sort market news by company and event type.

About ScrapeIt

ScrapeIt builds and runs crawlers for clients who need web data on a schedule, from market calendars to marketplace listings. On Benzinga that means table-by-table collection with stable column names, a documented schema and delivery where you want it - CSV or JSON files, Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage, or a load straight into your database. Personal data is handled under GDPR: analyst and author names are left out by default, and individual analysts are never profiled.

FAQ

Still unsure? Write to info@scrapeit.io

Do you offer a Benzinga API for ratings and calendar data?

Yes. The ScrapeIt Benzinga API returns rating changes with research firm, prior and current price target and rating, together with earnings, dividend and IPO calendar rows, as JSON from an endpoint we host, refreshed as often as you decide. The same tables are available as CSV or XLSX files or a JSON feed, or can be written straight into your database.

Is it legal to scrape Benzinga?

Yes. The analyst ratings table, the calendars, quote pages and news headlines are open to visitors without a Benzinga Pro or Edge subscription. We collect only publicly available data - everything a visitor can see on Benzinga without paying - and we collect it legally.

How often should Benzinga analyst ratings be collected?

The ratings pages lead with the newest calls, so a run every hour or two during US market hours records when each change first appeared, and an evening run closes the day. In earnings season the earnings calendar needs a run before the open and another after the close, because Actual EPS and the surprise columns fill in as companies report.

Can you build a Benzinga news dataset by ticker or channel?

Yes. We collect headline, publish time, channel, the tickers a story is tagged with and the numeric article id, for a ticker list or for whole sections such as analyst ratings or markets. A corrected story is marked CORRECTED in its headline, and with scheduled runs both versions of the headline stay in the data.

Which Benzinga calendars can you cover?

The public calendar tables under /calendars/: analyst ratings with their upgrades, downgrades and initiations, earnings, dividends, IPOs, economic releases and unusual options activity, and the other event calendars listed there. Each keeps its own column set, so we deliver them as separate tables joined on ticker and date instead of forcing one schema on all of them.
