Hi Antoine,

Glad you like the first pass at the API. Here are the answers to your questions:

1. cash management is not currently available in the API. We hope to have this available eventually (no time frame, sorry =) ). 2. ticker search has not been exposed in a formal API. However if you hit the main finance site, and load up Firebug (or other debugging tools), you can probably see the json request and response that we use when typing into the search box at the top. Since it's not a formal API, I can't guarantee that it will remain the same forever, but for now, this is what is available. 3. quote data we are unable to provide through a gdata api due to data licensing restrictions. For news, you can use the RSS feed for a company (see the RSS feed icon on any company page: http://finance.google.com/finance?q=NASDAQ:MSFT).

Thanks!

Hi,

I started to develop a little prototype using Finance API, and I must say it is simple of use, efficient, and really well documented for portfolio, position and transactions management. However, I still get some questions about 3 services I could not find in API or doc, that are available through finance.google.com web pages: - Cash management - Ticker search - Quotes and/or news for a specific ticker/company

Is there a way to access it I did not see, or is it not yet available ? (maybe it will never be...)

Thanks

Best regards
