Yahoo Finance

Hi
I need to write a method that searches a ticker in Yahoo Finance, and inserts all the results (URL's) into an ArrayList.
I've looked for Yahoo Finance API, but as far as I understood there it doesn't exist.

Is there a simple way doing this?

Thanks

  • YQL might be the best method for you to be able to do this. You can make a request to a specific HTML page and capture page data via the xpath. Here's an example of what I mean: http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/?q=...Ful%2Fli%2Fa%27

    You can just make a cURL or file_get_contents request to the REST query provided in the console after you hit test.
