I'm looking at building a custom stock widget that uses the stocks API. For example, to get Google's stocks, I call: http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?stock=GOOG
To get the FTSE 250 index, I just call: http://www.google.com/ig/api?stock=MCX But I'd like to get the FTSE All Share index price, it's symbol is "ASX", when I call http://www.google.com/ig/api?stock=ASX ...I get back results for 'Advanced Semiconductor Engineering'. I know that the stocks API defaults to the NYSE market, and it appears that if a symbol is used more than once across markets it just displays the NYSE result (hence Advanced Semiconductor Engineering - instead of the FTSE All Share). So, is there a way to prefix the symbol to say "get the one from THIS market, not FTSE" ? I've tried so far: http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?stock=FTSEASX http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?stock=.ASX http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?stock=FTSE.ASX http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?stock=FTSE-ASX I've even tried switching to .co.uk in the hope that the API will assume the default market based on the countries domain, but no luck. http://www.google.co.uk/ig/api?stock=MCX I've also looked in the iGoogle Gadget library to see if I can find a widget that already displays FTSE All Share - and then inspecting the URL it calls...but so far I've not found one. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "iGoogle Developer Forum" group.
