yahoo finance stock quote api

Question

Is there any way to get historical stock prices from the yahoo api in the json format? I\'d like to use REST because it\'s more lightweight.

Answer 1

get json format you can use YQL to send request and get response, if you want to get history data in spreadsheet, you can use http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=company symbol e.g open http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=MD in your browser
