I would like to use http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv? and http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv? in a school project

Hi, Currently I%u2019m enrolled into MTI in Mexico City. I'm working in my final project in order to get my master degree.

The topic of my end project is about volatibility prediction, so I'm interesting in both yahoo services:

http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv? and
http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?

I want to use it to get the information and then process it in a mobile application.

I would like to know if it is possible use it or if exist any restriction from Yahoo.

The main propose of the application is process the data shared by yahoo APIs, and manage a little folder with five inversion instruments.

  • These services are offered as is and we don't offer developer support. However, I'm going to leave this post up in case a community member has some suggestions for you :)

  • Thanks a lot for you answer duzins, in fact my doubt is about if yahoo has any politic of restriction about the uses of the services. I understand that the services are offered as is and also that yahoo does not have developer support. Just that I don't want to infringe any law in my final project as copyright or something like that.

    Also I would like to mention that the services were developed by Yahoo and mention finances.yahoo.com as a data provider.

    Thanks in advance for your time.

  • I guess I don't understand your question. I'm not familiar with the term politic of restriction.

  • Hi duzins, with politics of restrictions, I'm trying mean any restriction about the uses of the services. I have been read in at other post that someone else was asking about the uses of services on a commercial app. And the replier's answer was that the only form that yahoo lets use their services is by the uses of the tools developed by yahoo.

    In my case Ill will develop an application which is not for commercial uses. Is for an end school project. An important part of the project is not to break any law. For that my interest in knowing about if can I use the yahoo services without any problem.

    Also as I mention below, I'll specify to yahoo as owner of the services and as a data provider.

  • As long as you stay below the limit, don't use it commercially and follow the terms of service, you should be fine. We won't be able to raise the rate limit, however.

    Thanks.
