Thread: Stock Screenlet and the DOW


for while stock screenlet dow has been broken. use ^dji symbol that's symbol used @ http://finance.yahoo.com/q?s=^dji. when use "wrong symbol".

changed symbol indu , while seemed work broke again. starting stocks screenlet crashes unless remove indu stock.

looked code bit , afaict following stock quote:


code:
#!/bin/bash  wget -qo - "http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?f=nl1c1&s=$1"
using simple stockquote script see:

code:
earth:stockquote goog   "google inc.",638.96,-0.74  earth:stockquote ^ixic  "nasdaq composite",2607.85,+17.87  earth:stockquote ^gspc  "s&p 500",1259.72,+10.08  earth:stockquote ^dji  missing symbols list.
so seems problem finance.yahoo.com returns bad data. have thought @ least people using stocks screenlet , @ least people trying keep tabs on dow. why has not been reported before?

, how fix this?

for me works using latest screenlets dev ppa. version using? stocks screenlet updated in august 2011 (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indiv-s.../revision/1038) , new version added screenlets in october 2011 (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~indiv-s.../revision/1068).
