Subject:[Google Finance APIs] Re: Using google Google Finance Portfolio Data javascript API to get simple financial-performance statisticsActions...

First, a huge thanks for the continuous support and updates! I am new to the finance API and wonder if I can use the google data Java API (finance) and google javascript API modified to suit my needs in our company web site without any legalities involved, like an open source?

You can use our APIs for commercial or non-commercial purposes.

Also I was wondering if there was a way to just get the market value given a company ticker for the current time rather than without creating a portfolio for the company and so much more! My goal is to just get the current market value for any company ticker. What is the best way to do it?

We only offer Last price support in the gadget API. This is restricted to display in iGoogle though, so you will not be able to display last price/value per ticker on your website.

The latest javascript API provides support for finance data such as portfolio creation and
morehttp://code.google.com/apis/finance/developers_guide_js.html

Where can I find access to simple information such as several financial-performance statistics are included:     * Cost Basis     * Day's Gain     * Total Gain     * Market Value

All of the fields available are referenced where you found the documentation for cost basis, day's gain, total gain, market value, etc.. (I think that may be it).

http://code.google.com/apis/gdata/client-js.html#Samples does not suggest anything about how you can access all information that you can access using the financial gadgets javascript API.

That is correct, not all information is available through the GData API. The gadgets API is only available for iGoogle hosted gadgets.

Thanks!
