Description
Now that the Google and WSJ stock quotes are second to second update, will this be available with this Stock module as well!
#1
The question is not whether a site has the data, the question is whether this data is in a structured format.
Google provides nice charts and such, http://finance.google.ca/finance?q=aapl+ibm&meta=hl%3Den but it is not in a downloadable format (like the CSV format that Yahoo provides, which for end users can be downloaded in spreadsheets).
Of course screen scraping is one option, but it is ugly, and I don't think it is a viable option.
Let me know when Google provides such data (CSV, XML, ...etc.), or for that matter, any other provider.
#2
Google does provide CSV, but only historical data, not the current data (latest quote).
For example http://finance.google.ca/finance/historical?q=NASDAQ:AAPL&output=csv
So, still not a usable solution ...
#3
hey i think historical data can be used for making a chart. Maybe using CVS from php maybe, i forgot the name.. It will create a chart
#4
Google now has integrated google finance into their data api, providing live stock information (quotes) via xml.
