Here is some of the fields I’m curious about:

Like in Life - lots of challenges come with lots of narrow paths to cross.

    Jason – I guess you refer to this post:
    https://greenido.wordpress.com/2009/12/22/yahoo-finance-hidden-api/
    so it would be better to put the question over there next time – so other reader could find it.

    Any way, if you check: http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^N225 it will work and give you a page with data. Moreover, on historic data just use something like this format:
    http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=N225&a=01&b=19&c=2010&d=01&e=19&f=2010&g=d

    Good luck.

  3. Hello Ido, I also have a question about your Yahoo hidden API page. Comments are closed on that page and so I am posting here.

    I realize that it has been a long time since you posted that blog, but I was wondering about your SQL statements at the bottom of the post.

    Were you implying supplying the SQL statements directly to Yahoo (in some sort of YQL REST request) or were you using some local DB that you had imported the downloaded CSV to?

    Thanks
    Paul.

      Hey Paul,

      No worries. The comments on posts are closed after 90 days to prevent spam.
      As for your question. You can do both! If you wish to ‘test’ the API try something online with YQL console on the other hand, you can run this on your local database (or downloaded CSV).

      Good luck!

    Thanks and New Suggestion for your “Design” Page

    Hi Ido,

    First off, I wanted to say thank you for putting together the “Design” page on your site (https://greenido.wordpress.com/category/design/). There are some really useful links/resources on there.

    Also, there’s a guide by SuperSummary called the “Free eBook Download Guide” (http://www.supersummary.com/ebook-download-guide/) that I thought your visitors would find helpful. Perhaps it would be worth adding it to your list of resources? Let me know what you think.

    In any case, hopefully I’m not bothering you. Have a great day!

    Best,
    Colleen
