Hi Diane,

You need to set up a server on your local machine. When you do this, you can test your local site by going to http://localhost/projectName. When you type http://localhost into your web browser, it looks for the server that is running on your local machine.

There are a few different ways to do this. Apache is a very popular, open source server that you can install. If you have windows you can use IIS. I have found XAMP Lite to be a very easy way to get a local dev environment up and running, but it will also install php and MySQL.

Once you get the local server up and running, you can sign up for an api key with the url http:localhost.

Hope this helps.

Hi All,

I am new to Google Finance API. I would like to use JavaScript client library and I understand that in order to acquire the JavaScript client library, I need a developer key. I am not able to get a key because I don't have an URL that starts with http://.  I am developing my website on my local drive. All my HTML files are on the c: drive. I load the web pages by using local address: file:///c:/ . Would someone please help me? Thank you in advance.

Sincerely,
