Your query relies on a cookie, so is invalid for us, so not sure what it is supposed to do.

(Anyhow, my father had something, to download stock prices from Yahoo... but I won't be able to get to it till next week, maybe...
If I remember, somewhat, he'd send a string of stock symbols, Yahoo responded back with current pricing, he'd download that information, sending that data to a [Basic] program to update...)

Query a list of stock symbols, downloading in .csv format.
In this case, the list is hardcoded.

http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quo ... sl1&e=.csv

Code: Select all

http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=BA,C,DFCEX,DFEQX,DFIEX,DFIGX,DFISX,DFSTX,DFTEX,DVY,EZM,FBIOX,FCISX,FCNTX,FLCSX,FRESX,FSCSX,FSDIX,FSRFX,GE,HD,HDV,HON,IEDAX,IWO,IWS,IXN,JNJ,KBE,LOW,MMM,MSXAX,PFE,PHB,PPH,QQQ,SFLNX,SHAPX,TSN,VCR,VGT,VHT,VMBSX,VMRGX,VOO,VTI,VYM,XLY,&f=sl1&e=.csv

He started with this, quote.html.

The quote2.bbx & stock44.bbx then manipulate the data, & present it like this:

quote.html:

Code: Select all


<! ======   DOWNLOAD ALL THE CURRENT  STOCKS  ============ >

	<html>
	<head>
