JSON Quote API - Version 2.0
Overview
Our Javascript Quote API allows you to quickly and easily integrate market data into your web application, using a simple request-based API
Requesting Data
To request data from our servers, you insert a <script> tag into your web page. The 'src' parameter for this script tag controls which symbols are retrieved.
For example, to request a stock quote for Cisco Systems, you would insert the following:
And to request a quote for Microsoft:
Multiple symbols can be requested by adding a '+' character between them:
Understanding the Response
Once data has been requested, it is loaded into a variable named 'quote', which is an Associative Array. Using Javascript you can retrieve data from this array, and dynamically write the data wherever you like on your web page.
For example, to access the record for Microsoft you would use the following: quote['MSFT']
However, since each record is only a collection of fields, you would also need to specify which field to access, such as the Last Trade Price: quote['MSFT']['Last']
A number of fields are present, and more are being added as they become available.
