regards sd

Answer 1

I think that talking to ASX is going to be the way to go. They'll certainly provide you with real time information, but at a price.

Answer 2

If you can tolerate a 20 minute delay then the Yahoo! Finance API is very easy to use. A guide to its flags is here -> http://cliffngan.net/a/13 - also, remember to query http://au.finance.yahoo.com for localised currency, time, etc.

Answer 3

Alpha Vantage have a free json/CSV API that just requires you to get a key and supports ASX stocks. Eg to get BHP:

Answer 4

ASX must have an API. But there seem to be some options such as RSS Feeds. Live feeds are not free, free feeds are 20minutes delayed.

Answer 5

There are many sites that can give you a 20 minute delayed feed. Try this for example.

Answer 6

Unfortunately, Yahoo closed their free API.

EOD Historical Data (https://eodhistoricaldata.com) offers data for ASX in 'All World' package. You can get it in both CSV and JSON formats.

Answer 7

Yahoo Finance offer a delayed service (15 mins) on ASX listed companies. You could also fetch it with a screen scrape of google finance (also delayed). Since you are not yet listed it may take a while before either pick up your symbol. I believe both get their data from csinitiative which is a pay-for service. I'm not sure what programming language you are using but the Yahoo service certainly has many libraries already built in python/ruby/java.

Answer 8

Getting data from Yahoo is straight forward.

Here's a link for MSFT: http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=MSFT

To get data for the ASX add .AX to the end of the code, eg

http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=MPL.AX

I've written an article about about acquiring and graphing stock market data:

Answer 9

Adding an ".AX" at the end of each of stocks enabled me to get the data:

stock_list = ["ANZ.AX", "WBC.AX", "CBA.AX", "QAN.AX", "WOW.AX"]
