get minute bar historical data from Google finance?

Question

I can get daily data easily using this link:

https://www.google.com/finance/getprices?q=LHA&x=ETR&i=60&p=1d&f=d,c,h,l,o,v

But when I try to change "1d" to "1y" I still get 1 day's data.

I am trying to get 2 years' worth.

Is there a way to do this? yahoo or bing finance would be fine too.

Answer 1

I tried getting intraday data before, the furthest back I can get is 15 days, i.e. 15d Using 2w or 1y did not work for me.

Answer 2

You need to use '1Y', not '1y' on your query to get a time period stretching back 1 year. However, you will also need to change the granularity of your query, as minute data is only available for the previous 5 days.

This query will provide you with minute data for the previous 5 days.

The following query will provide you with the last two years of prices at the close.

Answer 3

google API "getprices" is NO more fetching intraday data of any interval (say 1 minute or 5 minute or 60 minutes .....). It is now fetching data in 1 day interval only irrespective of interval set.

Answer 4

Update [2020] Google and Yahoo deprecated their APIs so only direct website access works. However, the max resolution you can get is 1 day (end-of-day).

For historical high-resolution data Tickdata.com is a good source for tick-level data.

If 1-min bars are sufficient FirstRateData.com has 1-min data for most stocks and fx going back 20 years.
