Re: [amibroker] URL specification for yahoo Quote Download ?

["Tomasz Janeczko" <amibroker@xxxx>]

Hello, 
 
There are two servers, one for daily (current) 
quotes - quote.yahoo.com
and one for historical quotes: 
chart.yahoo.com
The first server accepts the "f" 
parameter which defines the format of data line.
AmiQuote for .AQD files uses 
 "f=snl1d1t1c1ohgv"; 
which is s - symbol, n - name, l1 - last (1 - the 
most recent) quote, d1 - date of the last quote, t1 - time of the last 
quote, c1 - change of the last quote (since prev close)
o - open, h - high, g - low, v - 
volume
 
It was guessing game to find it out 
:-)
 
The second server accepts parameters 
that Peter described.

Thanks Peter,
 
I thinks this should cover most of historical quote download 
!
I was wonder if there where somewhere a more complete 
description of all csv download ?
 
For example if you download directly from the Yahoo link, 
you have: 
<A 
href="">http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^VIX+^IXIC+^NDX&f=st5l9c6p4b1a3&e=.csv
 
So is it possible to describe what exactly the 
string  f=st5l9c6p4b1a3 <FONT 
color=#000000>do ?
 
Jon.
