Trying to Find Decent Stock Market Feeds [closed]
Question
I need feeds for the following stock market details, anyone have any
- Indices (NASDAQ, S&P 500, FTSE 100)
- Commodities (Oil, Gold, Copper, Nikel, Zinc)
- Market Information (History of the S&P / ASX 200)
- Exchange Rates (AUD/USD)
Thanks
Solution
I found most of the data I needed from Google Finance, they have a JSON feed available at the following address
http://www.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=goog,msft
This isn't documented by Google and they have purposely added slashes at the start so JSON will not parse it correctly. Simply remove the slashes and convert some of the characters to web/php safe characters and it works a treat.
OTHER TIPS
I got gold, silver and platinum prices in US$ from
http://www.freewebservicesx.com/GoldSpotPrice.aspx
They offer a soap-service, that you can access after a free registration.
To convert the US$ prices to € (or any other currency) I used
https://currencylayer.com/
which offers a rest webservice, that also can be used after free registration.

If you are willing to pay you can get everything from Bloomberg , Reuters or other data providers. As far as I know there are no free feeds that cover what you want. By the way I do not work for any of this companies, so this is not intentional marketing.
