Hi everyone,

I am guessing this group is mostly dead by the spam that is cluttering
it up, but it would be great if it could be woken up again!

I have constructed a simple-to-use web interface to the API which you
can inspect at api.howison.co.nz

Problems so far:

* action=history is limited to 500 entries, so it is easier to use the
deprecated action=tradeHist (not limited)

* No-one seems to know what sharesOutstanding actually means.

* The graph engine (not really an API thing) falls over on complicated
graphs like all the MAYOR stocks. Looks like the process needs more
memory (it gives an error message that it can't write to a file, I'm
guessing it is trying to write an out-of-memory error message to a log
file).
