Yahoo historical data on some symbols (SPY, ^SPX/^GSPC) has not been working. Anybody know of alternative sites to download historical data? Specifically, I need SPX volume (which Yahoo has/had).
Hi newbunch, scroll to bottom of page, click 'UK & Ireland' then left column Investing/International/US Indicies
Yahoo still works but you have to type in the URL directly. http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=^GSPC&a=03&b=02&c=07&d=05&e=03&f=07&g=d&ignore=.csv This is for ^GSPC where the first historical date downloaded is 04/02/07 and the last date is 06/03/07. Yahoo uses 0 based indexing for their months which is why 05 gives back June. David Piatek<br><a href="http://www.piateksoftware.com">http://www.piateksoftware.com</a><br>Intuitive Financial Software
On a related note, does anybody know why some iShares historical data is no longer available on Yahoo Finance? My only guess is that it's a licensing thing... TIA
Yahoo historical seems to be up and working again without needing to resort to any of the aforementioned "tricks".
BTW, the Yahoo UK site was working while the US one wasn't. You might want to keep this in your pocket as a backup. http://uk.finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=^NDX
Good find. Also seems like their open, high, and low prices are automatically adjusted for splits unlike yahoo which only adjusts the closing price. David Piatek<br><a href="http://www.piateksoftware.com">http://www.piateksoftware.com</a><br>Intuitive Financial Software
