akern07 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 First off, I'm sorry if this is in the wrong board. I looked at all of them and as far as I could deduce, this was the best one. My problem is this: I am currently doing a favor for my girlfriend's dad by creating a website that will collect historical stocks quotes from yahoo and analyze them. Unfortunately, I didn't realize that Yahoo uses an API and therefore I would have to create a PHP module to run the API. I really have no idea how to implement the API - about all I know from searching is that I use O.O.P. If anyone could help me out on this point, I would greatful. I just need to know how to use the Yahoo API in my script and how I could access the historical quotes. Much appreciated. ~Andy Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57588-yahoofinance-api/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooldude832 Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 try searching the internet for pre built scripts, but basically you have 2 options you can use the cURL functions and manually crawl or try and use the yahoo's API system, but you will need to know more about their end to do it, such as what you are connectioning 2 any type of data you need to include in the connection etc etc Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/57588-yahoofinance-api/#findComment-285046 Share on other sites More sharing options...
