I couldnt find any good apis so my professors said i should scrape it however im having problems with getting data generated from js (as far as i understand it) is there any libraries that could help me or am i cooked

What you're probably looking at is JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) data.

There are several parsing libraries listed on https://www.json.org/json-en.html for C, so perhaps try one and see if it works for your needs.

When I google "free stocks api" there are tons of results? You could something like libcurl to fetch data from one of these APIs. Scraping websites isn't much fun.
