Initially I got my quotes from a broker daily to plug into a spreadsheet, Then I found Yahoo and wrote a perl script to grab them. When Yahoo quit supplying quotes I found AlphaVantage.co and rewrote the perl script. AlphaVantage.co has been down since last week and I found iextrading.com has a freely available interface. Since it needs a rewrite and I'm trying to get a handle on python this seems like a good opportunity to explore. If someone would please suggest modules to explore. Are there any upper level modules that would allow me to do something like:
from module import get def getAquote(symbol): url = 'https://api.iextrading.com/1.0/stock/()/quote'.format(symbol) reply = module.get(url) return my_parse(reply) Thanks, Mike -- Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing ever happened. - Churchill -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
