How I can get stock symbols listed with various exchange ex-nasdaq,S&P 500, Dowjones etc as xml/webs

[rinki]

I have to prepare a web application that shows the stock symbols for
user as shown exactly in yahoo finance web site i.e
if user type 'a' , then all symbols with A should shown up.

My query is :
Is there any web site provide these symbols as web service.

I tried to store all symbols by hard coding in database but problem is
everyday some one has to browse the internet and update the database.

This isn't exactly a Java question, but oh well...

You probably will have to partner with some company that has that data,
and it might not be free. You can try scraping Yahoo! Finance or other
sites that show stock symbols, but make sure you follow all terms of use.

You might try searching Google for Stock Symbol Web Service. This site
looks promising <http://www.trynt.com/trynt-stock-symbol-api/>
It is a look-up, not a listing, but you might be able to talk them into
providing a listing feed.

Hope this helps,
Daniel.
