Looking for a Stock Quote component

[JurijD]

I need to incorporate real time stock quotes into an app I´m working on.

I´m looking for a good stock quote component that would do the trick for me. It has to be able to get real time stock quotes from the NASDAQ stock market.

Thanks

You could try creating the component yourself. Does the site you want to link to have an Rich Site Summary (RSS) feed? If it does then you simply need to grab the XML it spits at you and filter it to display what you require.

Another way to do it, but not so effective is send a URL which logs you into your portfolio, grab the HTML of that page and filter it to get the info you want. This is more long-winded and can be messed up by site redesign.

Hope this helps!

Check out this article - it may give you some clues as to how to start writing your own stock quote retrieval facility: A Simple Stock Grabber.

Go to

http://www.torry.net

and search for "stock". There are several stock quote components.

Thanks for the help.

I checked out torry yesterday and although they have several such components I could not find one that would work on delphi 7, I tried several.

I´ll give your first suggestion a try.
