stock quote api web service


s0c0

Recommended Posts

I am looking for a stock quote API that can be accessed with PHP,POST, etc...  I am willing to pay for a service that is very close to or is real-time.  I know I can use Yahoo and Google but they are delayed up to 15 minutes.  I have already emailed bloomberg and rueters hoping they provide some sort of service like this.

 

Any ideas?  And yes, I have been googling for last 30 minutes so don't JFGI me okay folks.

Well this belongs in hire a programmer section

 

He's not asking someone to code anything for him; he wants to know if there's any place to get access to real-time stock quotes through an interface like an API.  I was actually looking for something like this the other day and didn't find anything really.  Let me know if Bloomberg gets back to you.

Well without re-reading it it made it sound like he was asking someone to write it. Sorry :'(

Sounds like there is a market out there for a stock quote API. Hmmm....

 

Anyways no one from sales every got back to from any of those companies.  I guess they either don't offer it, don't care about me, or don't want my business as my client was willing to pay GOOD money for access to an API like that.  Well back to the drawing board.

An interesting site as well is: http://www.programmableweb.com/apis/directory/1?apicat=Financial&sort=name which is just a list of financial APIs.  If you guys get contacted by any of those companies let me know as I really need to come through on this.  I sent emails to all of them and will call them directly if I don't hear anything back by friday.

Strike Iron costs $200 and that allows you to perform 200,000 operations on the API I believe.  Ameritrade is the best as you get the API free with your Ameritrade account which is only $9.99.  Not sure how Strike Iron intends on making money.  The one caveat with Ameritrade is that they require you to sign an NDA for some reason.

 

We'll you can thank me for all my hard work by showing some love on my blog

 

Good luck friends.

bloomberg offers data licensing and web services apis. i'm just getting started on a php/soap implementation. not sure the size of your project, but it's priced on a per security/per month call (so you can ask for the same quote every day of the month and pay once for it) and i think the minimum for our firm is about $1000. there are about 4000 data points available per security, including news and corporate actions, so you could make it worthwhile...

 

found your post by looking to see if anyone else had done a php implemenation of this as bbg only provides .net and java examples... (don't want to go there)
