    Default Yahoo CSV API blocked

    Hi all,

    On 2nd Nov Yahoo blocked access to CSV API ... so will now subscribe to EOD data from a provider.
    I'm quoted $50/month from Findata .... any other recommendations from the group ?

    Regards Jon

    they just changed again have been doing it a number of times this year , i still can get it though with a few tweeks and work arounds if i need too. i only really used it for nz data as paying for the nzx data here was just outright crazy prices for such a small amount of data.

    hate to think your paying $50 for nzx data that sounds outragous what are you buying ? better to source data from overseas way cheaper if you want to pay.

    I thought that Findata did NZX EOD for $19.95 per month, and if this is still true then it is the cheapest source that I am aware of.

    Do you have access to a Webpage Reader+Extractor. It allows you to "point" ( url list) to a page (multiple pages) and "read + extract" the actual data (html tags and codes with embedded text and numeric values etc) creating the page. With a bit of additional coding you can filter out only the text and numerics that you require leaving all the other nonessential stuff behind. Effectively you create and tune your own web scraper/harvester.

    this the way to go add some python code to do it , you can even build your own intraday charts if you scrape often enough and dont get caught lol.
