Dear- It is well known that we can use yahoo to downloand daily close of MSFT and SamSung Electronics, as follows http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=MSFT+005930.KS&f=d1snohgl1v After typing this, you will see an EXCEL file with the two recent close in your PC. ************************************************* Note that 005930.KS is NYSE symbol for Samsung in English letter. Now, how can we find this kind of symbols in Toyota and Shaomi, Japanese and Chinese market? I am NOT talking about ADR listed in NYSE, but the local symbol in their country.
You can get the data here. Maybe you could ask them if they can provide you with a symbol list in English. http://www.bigcharts.com/quickchart/quickchart.asp?symb=JP:7203&insttype=Stock
Should I ask them for special help? There might be some place, which shows all the world-wide symbol for each country.
Just found the English list on TSE's site http://www.tse.or.jp/english/market/data/listed_companies/index.html
Now that you have the English symbol list you can download a CSV file for today's prices for all stocks on TSE here http://k-db.com/stocks/, and for individual issues by entering the symbol at the top of the page (ex. 7203 for Toyota). 8 years of daily data and 1 and 5 minute data for today, http://k-db.com/stocks/7203-T.
