Hi Tomasz,
It is becoming clearer and clearer that Yahoo Finance may NOT want to
continue distributing its data. I say this because I have downloaded
samples periodically both Yesterday and Today. None of the samples
contained ANY data for Nov. 16th.
This brings up other possible sources for data which are most compatible
with AmiQuote. Would you state the current position of the data
distribution - as you know it?
In what little investigation I have done in the past 4 days or so, the
best possibility might be that Quote.com seems to be a possible data
source. As mentioned on the HQuote.com site, Quote.com - now a part
of E*Trade brokerage, will supply data both EOD and RT, if you sign up
with HQuote as a distribution point & Quote.com as the
supplier, for their RT Live Charts service. This is $9.95 plus $1/month
for each of the markets you are interested in so this is $10.95 for NYSE,
$11.95 for Nasdaq & NYSE, etc., etc.. This seems to be the service
that I would like, but I don't want to get the downloads through
HQuote.com because Dr. Nates' last message told of his difficulty with
the speed of the HQuote.coms' server.
Yesterday when I was at the Quote.com site researching the above
information, I sent them an e-mail query which requested information on
the code necessary to download from their site. I have NOT received an
answer as yet, as the weekends are a poor time to expect any site to be
active. So Monday, if I receive an answer I will immediately forward it
to you, hoping that it might help your US market followers cure the
present Yahoo problem. What I'm working towards is to get you to try to
get this answer. One of my MAIN problems, is that even if they provide me
with information relating to the means of access, I won't know what to do
with it!
It seems to me, that they would be tempted to provide information to a
person who might be worth $$'s to them through the users of your program.
I wouldn't bother you, but it does seem that this is a bit more than
Yahoo cleaning up their system, and you are the person with
"clout" that could get Quote.com to provide an answer to this
problem.
Thanks for Listening,
Hal
