Well, what they have done is write a small script which shall get the Quotes from Yahoo and save it on local HDD. Then using Java Scripting, the same is imported into AmiBroker. The script when running, pings Yahoo and fetches the At the moment quotes for the scrips specified which is then appended into the Text file and using JS imported into AmiBroker.
The best part is that they call themselves as RT Data Providers ;).

I have tried it out and it does work though with a couple of drawbacks. The main thing is that if you ping Yahoo Server say every One minute, it gives you a fresh quote. Using this facility, its possible to use AmiQuote to get Intra-day data from Yahoo.
