Get Stock Quote

[Vikash Kumar]

class RubyStock

def initialize
end

require 'net/http'

def RubyStock::getStocks(*symbols)
Hash[*(symbols.collect{|symbol|[symbol,Hash[\
*(Net::HTTP.get('quote.yahoo.com','/d?f=nl1&s='+symbol).chop\
.split(',').unshift("Name").insert(2,"Price"))]];}.flatten)];
end
end
myHash = RubyStock::getStocks("IBM","YHOO","RHAT","MSFT","AOL");
myHash.each { |key,value,v1|
print "Symbol is: #{key}...";
print "FullName: #{value['Name']}...";
print "Price: #{value['Price']}\n";
}


It generates the output like

Symbol is: YHOO...FullName: "YAHOO INC"...Price: 26.18
Symbol is: AOL...FullName: "AOL"...Price: 0.00
Symbol is: MSFT...FullName: "MICROSOFT CP"...Price: 28.73
Symbol is: RHAT...FullName: "RED HAT INC"...Price: 16.67
Symbol is: IBM...FullName: "INTL BUSINESS MAC"...Price: 91.41


As we know by appending 'o', 'c', 'v', 'g', 't1', d1' to the URL we can
get opening price, change, high, low, time, date, etc.

But I am unable to get Opening price, change, high, low, time, date etc.
What should be the modification in code to achieve this. Please send me
the code. Thanks in advance.

You need to add the correct tags to your code - the tags are listed

eg
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=XOM+BBDb.TO+JNJ+MSFT&f=sndp2hl1l1yr
