If you are trying to use AJAX skills to build your stock quote tool and are looking for some stock price feeds, then this article could help you a lot. :)
The sample Yahoo! Stock Quote HTTP string looks like this:
If you type in the HTTP address above to your browser address bar, it will return you a string like
* s: the symbol name
* l: last value (or current price). If you use l alone, you will get back a string similar to Mar 22 - 31.26
* l1: (letter l and the number 1) to just get the last value of the symbol
* d: d alone will give you 0, while d1 will return the current date (e.g. 3/22/2007)
* t: t by itself will request the yahoo-generated chart. However, you will get back the chart image with a whole bunch of other HTML garbage, e.g. src=http://chart.yahoo.com/c//y/yhoo.gif" alt="Chart">
* t1: the time of last update, for example 4:00pm.
* c: the change amount. Can either be used as c or c1.
* o: opening value
* h: high value
* g: low value
* v: volume
* j: 52-week low.
* j1: the market cap. This is string like "42.405B" for $42 billion. Man… that can buy **a lot** of hamburger
* p: after hour price (?)
* p1: (?)
* p2: change percentage e.g. "-0.10%"
* w: 52-week range
* e: EPS (Earning per share)
* r: P/E (Prince/Earning) ratio
* n: Company name
20.745,-0.385,2590659
If you want the full information about the symbol, you can use **f=sl1d1t1c1ohgvj1pp2wern** instead.
Don’t sweat, here comes the explanation for each letter (or letter-digit pair)* s: the symbol name
* l: last value (or current price). If you use l alone, you will get back a string similar to Mar 22 - 31.26
* l1: (letter l and the number 1) to just get the last value of the symbol
* d: d alone will give you 0, while d1 will return the current date (e.g. 3/22/2007)
