ThePentiumGuy Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 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 Pentium Guy Quote My VB.NET Game Programming Tutorial Site (GDI+, Direct3D, Tetris [coming soon], a full RPG.... you name it!) vbprogramming.8k.com My Project (Need VB.NET Programmers) http://workspaces.gotdotnet.com/ResolutionRPG
Arch4ngel Posted May 19, 2006 Posted May 19, 2006 The answer is always closer than you might think. http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=%SYMBOL%&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv Just replace %SYMBOL% with anything you want. Those need to be seperated by a "," Eg. : http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=INTL,AMD&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv Quote "If someone say : "Die mortal !"... don't stay to see if he isn't." - Unknown "Learning to program is like going out with a new girl friend. There's always something that wasn't mentioned in the documentation..." - Me "A drunk girl is like an animal... it scream at everything like a cat and roll in the grass like a dog." - Me after seeing my girlfriend drunk and some of her drunk friend.

Gill Bates Posted July 4, 2006 Posted July 4, 2006 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. Quote
