Downloading yahoo EOD prices

Any suggestions on a program to download stock prices. I use the data in Supercharts. A fellow ET member helped me write a small java utility that used awk, but it stopped working for me a few months ago and I have no clue whats wrong. Just cant get it to work.

I have looked at Hquote and Stock quotes express, did trials of both and they are ok for what I need. Does anyone know of other software that would fit my need? Thanks for any help.

 

you could try amiquote

also
I created small utility which let me fetch EOD data (not from Yaho, but from nasdaq). it is just a hack but it appends data so no need to download twice the same thing . but I will release it only when I do somo more testing. (it take s15 minutes to download all amex stocks data (1 year ))

 

Can these programs handle splits for historical data?

 

I have used DataSharks for Yahoo data:

In (June/July, 2004) Yahoo changed the link from which stock prices are downloaded
from:
http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=GE etc. etc.
to
http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=GE etc. etc.

Note that "chart" was changed to "ichart"



Also the format for current quotes changed from

http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=

to

http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=


A simple change to the URL referenced in your Java or other macro should fix the issues that you are having.

i use routers (installs with metastock) but get feed from yahoo so its free

 

Hello!

fwiw,

there in attachment you can download app I was talking about,
it is a simple script;
- it loads ticker data from stocks.txt (you need to edit it and put custom symboly )
-fetches data from nasdaq web page (splits adjusted)
-saves in xls (actually txt) file
-if earlier data was already downloaded, just append fresh data to the end of file

(you need rebol/view to use it, download from www.rebol.com)

(in attachment I put stocks from DJIA, if you need list for nasdaq or amex or all nyse stocks, just ask.)
bye-bye

 

I downloaded the newest version of quotemonster thinking that they have the url fixed but it still does not work and I cant even find where the url is listed .

Hquote and stock quotes both have very easy spilt adjustments.

I tried the Amiquote and downloaded some symbols but cant figure out how to use the .ach files it produces.

I downloaded your zip file and the rebol stuff , I am so confused with that I really have no clue on how to make it work, I will keep trying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to everyone

 

I am using the smartdownloader from www.hypertrader.it
It is working fine. Downloads all the EOD data from yahoo and integrates seemlessly with the metastock offline.
