    Hi,

    I've been researching quite a bit for EOD historical data for some time now. I've been using Yahoo for USEQ and Quandl for ASX. I would like to expand to other markets. I don't want to spend too much time researching and then writing code to extract symbols daily and the EOD data. It would be great to go to one site for all the data. I'm willing to pay a nominal fee for such access.

    A little bit about my method: I code in Python on a Fedora 20 Intel box. I like to download and store data. I have a symbol DB in Mysql and EOD data stored in CSV (off Yahoo and Quandl). Yahoo restricts the # of connections which makes my USEQ downloader take about 10 hours to download all the symbols. Quandl also restricts connections but not to that extent.

    These are my requirements:

    1. EOD data adjusted for corporate actions
    2. I don't care if the service doesn't carry delisted stocks
    3. I just need Equities for now
    4. I would like to download the data in CSV/JSON/XML format
    5. No connection limits (very important)

    Sites that I have researched already:

    1. eoddata.com: They have received horrible reviews on one of the stackexchange thread. Despite that, one night, after getting frustrated, I signed up. Guess what? They just won't let me sign up :). I couldn't go to the "confirm" page.

    2. Metastock: No FTP or HTTP access. I'm forced to use their software. Although I feel their price for Datalink is quite attractive, I don't like the fact that I can't access the data in any other way. Ruled out.

    3. Quantgo.com: Stupidly expensive. Only cloud based. Not my thing.

    Does anyone have any recommendation?

    Regards,
    D
