smashmouth Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Hey all!. I was wondering if there was a way to process information from major websites using php? It seems I am running into issues. Here is what I am trying to do: I need to pull the full list of companies from pinksheets.com that are listed on the exchanges. I can download the list via XLS format, but I need to do this for all the exchange websites such as nasdaq etc. Is there a way to do this where I can comb for the information such as CEO name, ticker , company name and any companies that get taken off or added to the list? The lists I am already talking about are on the sites I mentioned and you can look them up but I am adding 40,000+ companies to my site it manually entering them would be a huge issue,. Do any of you have any fixes? Sorry if this is in the wrong section. Thanks!. Smash.
