Have you considered allowing delayed data at least? I can understand real-time data can be expensive. However most exchanges have a delayed feed which costs almost nothing. For most users of finance API, 5 min delay or even 15 min delay may be acceptable.

Hi, that's correct. We don't own the data that is distributed, sorry =).

Hmmm. I just read the previous posters question about "retrieving a stock price" which is basically what I wanted to do and the answer was you have to do it with the google gadgets.  That sounds odd that I would have to change technologies to just get a simple stock quote.

Hello,

I hope Google is monitoring this group and can answer this.  I am building a company intranet portal for my company's internal use only and wanted to write a portlet that displays the current stock information for my company.

I need to dig into the technical details of the APIs here, but I assume there is some web service or some sort of stock quote API that can give current price, opening price, etc..., all the typical stuff. I don't really care if its realtime or delayed.  The execs would probably like realtime.

But before I dig into the API's, i wanted to see if this was an OK use of the API.  The answer is probably burried in the terms of service but I'm not a lawyer and hate reading those things.  If google comes back and says this is OK, I'll take a closer look at how I would implement and also give the Terms of Use to our legal department to make sure they are happy.

Thanks
