Google Finance CSV service

[anmol]

Hi,

I'm writing an application for my use to do stock technical analysis
for Indian market. My requirements are below:

1. To get all symbol/script/quote for an exchange.

2. To Get historical data [should be adjusted with split]. This I can
get from following URL.

http://finance.google.co.uk/finance/historical?
q=LON:VOD&startdate=Oct+1,2008&enddate=Oct+9,2008&output=csv

3. To Get Live data with some more information like ask price, ask
size, sell, sell price, 52 week High, 52 Week Low, P/E ratio etc...
like yahoo provides.

4. Is this service free?

Please suggest.

Regards,
Anmol Kumar

Hello Anmol,

Google Finance is primarily intended as an end-user tool, not as a
source of downloadable data streams. As you know, we do have some APIs
that allow you to download some data, but if you do this on a massive
scale (i.e. every stock on the exchange) you will probably run into
some of our session limits.

We don't offer an API for this.

That's correct; though we don't offer this functionality for every
exchange. Our ability to provide CSV downloads of historical data is
limited by the specific licenses we have with each exchange.
