Yahoo Finance All Currencies quote API Documentation

Question

I\'ve being using this feed for a long time, I believe Apple does it as well in one of the mac widgets. but what is really curious is that I simply can\'t find any documenta

Answer 1

I'm developing an application that needs currency conversion, and been using Open Exchange Rates because I wouldn't be paying since the app is in testing. But as of September 2012 Open Exchange Rates is gonna be paid for non-personal, so I checked out that they were using the Yahoo Finance Webservice (the one that "doesn't exist") and looking for documentation on it got here, and opted to use YQL.

Using YQL with the Yahoo Finance table (yahoo.finance.quotes) linked by NT3RP, currencies appear with symbol="ISOCODE=X", for example: "ARS=X" for Argentine Peso, "AUD=X" for Australian Dollar. "USD=X" doesn't exist, but it would be 1, since the rest are rates against USD.

The "price" value on the OP API is in the field "LastTradePriceOnly" of the table. For my application I used the "Ask" field.
