Downloading Stock data automatically

[ThePentiumGuy]

I've been looking into this for a few days. Does anyone know any website that allows you to automatically download their stock data?

Or, how would this be feasable ... I'm not quite sure where to look.

The answer is always closer than you might think.

Just replace %SYMBOL% with anything you want. Those need to be seperated by a ","

Eg. :

I presume that you want to do this programmatically. If so, the easiest way would be to do it with a Web Service call (instead of reading the contents of a Web page and then having to parse out the actual stock quote, a.k.a. "screen scraping").

Check out this website: http://www.xmethods.net/

There should be several web services available for getting stock quotes.
