How to add a stock quote to my website?

[arbo80]

Hi,

I was wondering how I can add a stock price and currency variance(USD to EUR) to my website and have it refreshed every hour. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

A

Yahoo has an add-on you can use for stocks: Stock Quotes I'm sure there are others out there.

If you want to change the way the stock quote from Yahoo! works then you can grab the data and reformat it fairly simply.

Use the following URL to get the data

http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=APPL&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgv&e=.csv

Replace the APPL with whatever symbol you need to get data for.

You may also want to cache the data somehow so you aren't hitting Yahoo! every time someone loads the page.
