@Robert,
So far I think Yahoo is the most generous one that we can use for now. I do know that MSN finance also provides historical data since I am using MSN historical data for a client to do charting and analysis. However, I have never actually work directly with their API since I got the data back from a package written for R (http://www.r-project.org/).

Are there similar sites, such as MSNBC or others? I don’t want to abuse, er annoy Yahoo by hitting them too much.

Rahul, you just need to enter a company name and it will show you the ticker symbol.

If you enter APPLE for example, you quickly see:

http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=AAPL

Good luck,
Jonas

Hi,
How difficult would it be to put this on my site at stockquotes.hk ? I am currently using an apache webserver with php.

Does anyone know a way to wrap this into a Java program? I’ve read about cold fusion and C but nothing on Java.
