Market Information by Company Yahoo RSS Feeds

Question

Yahoo provide feeds in XML format that provide market information.

The following page details news feeds: http://developer.yahoo.com/finance/company.html

It is proving difficult however to find the market information feeds. Essentially what I want is the value, and change of specific markets, eg. GOOG, AAPL, EBAY etc..

I know the feed exists because it is used by the widgets and apps produced by Apple.

Can anyone find the feed that would then allow us to enter a string containing the companies we want the results for.

Answer 1

You are looking at the wrong feed (The Yahoo! Finance Company News RSS) for the information you want. You should check this link

For example:

 http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GE&f=nkqwxyr1l9t5p4

gives you this:

"GENERAL ELEC CO",32.98,"Jun 26","21.30 - 32.98","NYSE",2.66,"Jul 25",28.55,"Jul 3","-0.21%"
