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.

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 ...

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

Google now has integrated google finance into their data api, providing live stock information (quotes) via xml.
