I need to find a Web Service which allows me to retrieve the following type of data:
The 30 most valuable companies, and for each company the following information:
Company name, symbol, state and zipcode
Current market price of the stock
Change in the price of the stock since yesterday’s market close.
Beta value of the stock
Thanks in advance!
I would expect to obtain this information from Forbes. As Steve suggested, you should get it from xignite.com . Apparently, Forbes makes their data available through them:
http://www.xignite.com/News/PressRelease.aspx?articleid=86
You might also have a look at Yahoo Finance: http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm.
Here some example This is not oficial API and there is no documentation.

Is there a convenient way to obtain dividend history for a specified company from the Yahoo finance API? For example, the historic data can be obtained by the following link, with some variable conditions
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/code_name?period1=from&period2=to&interval=1d&events=history
Which, with those conditions filled, would look like:
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/CBA.AX?period1=0&period2=1625841418&interval=1d&events=history
Which gives the data as Date Open High Low Close AdjClose Volume. What I would like to obtain is this, but for dividends. I.e. Date Amount in a specified period.
You can get the past dividends for, say Apple, using this query
https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AAPL/history?period1=from&period2=to&interval=div%7Csplit&filter=div&frequency=1d&includeAdjustedClose=true
To get the csv file, use this for Apple
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/AAPL?period1=From&period2=To&interval=1d&events=div&includeAdjustedClose=true
Try this for the dividends during last year again using Apple as an example
https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/AAPL?period1=1594598400&period2=1626134400&interval=1d&events=div&includeAdjustedClose=true
You can use R to get dividend information quite easily.
If you want the information from Yahoo then use quantmod library. The function to use is getDividends("CBA.AX")
library(quantmod)
getDividends("CBA.AX")
I'm having a problem using Google Finance historical data. I need to know the price a particular stock had on a particular date (Usually within the last month).
The problem is, when I use a URL such as https://finance.google.com/finance/historical?q=abx I get different results depending on where I issue the query from.
At home I'm in Argentina and my production server is in the US... when I run the query locally I get the prices in AR$, but when run from the server I get USD (Which is what I actually need).
I tried using a X-Forwared-For header but didn't make a difference...
Ideally I'd like to send an extra parameter (something like cur=USD) to explicitly ask for USD... is there such a thing?
Thanks
I use, currency conversion along with the price of the stock.
For Example:
Price of ABB Ltd in SEK = GOOGLEFINANCE("ABB","price") * GOOGLEFINANCE(("CURRENCY:USDSEK"))
Then I format the cells, rows, columns with prices to local currency(i.e. SEK) as mentioned in the link: Format Numbers in excel.
You could add other parameters such as date as mentioned in below link:

Is there a way to get all neighborhoods per city by lat and lng from mapbox API V5.
For example, if I search using the lat and lng of Long Beach.
-118.1937, 33.7701
I expect to get back all the neighborhoods, instead, I only get back one result of
"place_name: "Downtown, Long Beach, California 90802, United States""
I have changed the response limit and bound box, with no results.
Here is the mapbox playground.
https://www.mapbox.com/api-playground/#/forward-geocoding
Thanks!
Mapbox doesn't really do neighborhoods, they require some sort of search data to pull either addresses or places.
However, there are services where you can get neighborhood data. I found this Stack Overflow question to have several links (sadly, most of them outdated....), with the reference to Zillow having a lot of promise.
I'd also suggest the Census Bureau data as it may have what you are looking for, but it is what I would call 'less than user friendly' to find anything - unless you are comfortable reading government spec sort of things... :)
i want to list all available industries ( like: http://biz.yahoo.com/p/ ) and show all corresponding stocks.
Until now I'm using YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback for the symbol suggestion and http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=... for getting the stock's data.
Does anyone have any idea how to get all industries and corresponding stocks?
Is there another hidden Yahoo API?
Lists of all available industries are called GICS Sectors for Standard and Poor's (S&P500 will use that) and ICB for Dow Jones and FTSE. Hence it used by Nasdaq, Nyse and others markets.
It seems like Yahoo uses a third industry classification by Morning Star, but since I'm not quite sure I will give both ways of retrieving data.
Morning Star
I don't know if Yahoo really sticks to this classification, but some names were really close so let's see it:
You need to go to their Index Data and in each sector, click on it and then at the bottom View complete index holdings.
It's not as precise as in Yahoo industry list, but it's all you can do with Morning Star. Not very convincing, I know...
GICS Sectors
GICS Sectors are now a trademark of Standard and Poor's and then data have to be sought for in S&P's website.
Short answer: take a look at this page, you will need to be registered (it's free and easy) and you can download spreadsheets (xls) with stocks and corresponding sectors. Nevertheless, things aren't always easy, and you will have to do a bit of a search to retrieve all stocks with their corresponding industries. For example, the file INDICATED_RATE_CHANGE.xls will give you some companies and their sectors in each month of 2012. Using that and SP500_DividendAristocrats_2012.xls you should be able to retrieve at least a large part of S&P 500 companies.
ICB
ICB is used by NYSE, NASDAQ etc... Then it's a lot simpler than S&P and MorningStar. Here is your answer. BOOM! Direct link!
Link is dead :(
Finally
I strongly advise you to use the simpler and most-used industry classification index: the ICB. It will always be available and publicly displayed since millions of investors relay everyday on it, without having to use S&P financial services or MorningStar brokerage services...
EDIT
You can look at nasdaq.com to retrieve all companies and their corresponding sector: here for Nasdaq and here for Nyse
Get all industry-IDs from here:
http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/ind_index.html
(look at the links)
Then use YQL ( https://developer.yahoo.com/yql/console/ )
with a query like this:
select * from yahoo.finance.industry where id=912

Until now, I've been using the INDU ticker to follow the DOW with the Yahoo! API. For whatever reason you were unable to directly follow ^dji ^djia or any other reasonable combination. Up until yesterday, INDU was working fine. However now I receive no data when requesting indu.
What other ticker can I use with the Yahoo! finance API that will return the DJIA?
This index is not available under any other name.
However, this problem was just a temporary glitch, now resolved by Yahoo. Unfortunately, their financial data availability is very flaky lately. E.g. data available on the web page, but CSV downloads give "N/A" for all fields, etc. There were similar incidents in recent months, with stock prices for random stocks given wrong values, and more.
So, if you're building a new service around these Yahoo services, be aware that:
These services are not reliable.
You're breaking Yahoo ToS, so there's nothing you can do if they are broken / not working, you cannot even complain to Yahoo in good faith.
According to Yahoo (post by Yahoo Developer Network Community Manager Robyn Tippins on Yahoo developer forums):
The reason for the lack of documentation is that we don't have a Finance API. It appears some have reverse engineered an API that they use to pull Finance data, but they are breaking our Terms of Service (no redistribution of Finance data) in doing this so I would encourage you to avoid using these webservices.
The formula for the DJIA isn't very complicated. If you are still able to pull quotes from individual stocks, you could use your code to pull the prices of the existing 30 components of the DJIA, add them up and divide by the current divisor. Of course, this has several disadvantages.
You need to make 30 requests instead of one.
You will have to adjust the divisor if there is a stock-split.
You will have to change the the queries when the components
change.
The components of the DJIA are
AA AXP BA BAC CAT CSCO CVX DD DIS GE HD
HPQ IBM INTC JNJ JPM KFT KO MCD MMM MRK
MSFT PFE PG T TRV UTX VZ WMT XOM
The current divisor is 0.132129493.
The divisor changes whenever there is a stock split in on of the components. The components of the DOW changed 48 times from 1896-2009.
It seems like Yahoo Finance does not support the web service to query ^DJI or INDU.
Check out this discussion:
http://developer.yahoo.com/forum/General-Discussion-at-YDN/Dow-Jones-Industrial-Average-Quote-Error/1317052217631-f9173931-04fd-4519-b1b3-efb65d7ff8fa/1317065435082
Assuming that your application does not need to be real time market data (to the second), you can use the RAW data that is provided to build the interactive graph on yahoo. This data is comma separated and updates about once every minute. The downside: it will include all the data from the trading day. The time given is in Unix time so a conversion would be needed. I tried this out for the ticker symbols you listed and the only one I was able to get data with was ^dji. Hopefully this is what you are looking for!
You can mess with the link and see what happens to the data. For example you can change the amount of days.
http://chartapi.finance.yahoo.com/instrument/1.0/%5Edji/chartdata;type=quote;range=1d/csv/
I think Yahoo Finance All Currencies quote API Documentation will help you.
I found a Yahoo forum answer that says we cannot download CSV data for ^DJI.
Check also YQL console. This console will fetch values in JSON format.
The DIA ticker (SPDR Dow Jones Industrial Average) closely imitates the Dow.
