JSON Quote API - Version 2.1
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.
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']
The script will also call the function 'updateQuotes(quote)'. This Javascript function is to be defined by the client and allows the client to choose how the data will be displayed.
A number of fields are present, and more are being added as they become available.
