How can I fetch a stock's price from the Australian Stock Exchange (ASX): www.asx.com.au/

Actually our te开发者_开发百科am is working on a corporate site which would be listed soon at Australian Stock Exchange. I need to display details about the stock (including the price) on the home page. How can I do this?

Do stock exchanges provide data feeds? If so, how do I access these feeds?

---

ASX must have an API. But there seem to be some options such as RSS Feeds. Live feeds are not free, free feeds are 20minutes delayed.

I think that talking to ASX is going to be the way to go. They'll certainly provide you with real time information, but at a price.

Yahoo Finance offer a delayed service (15 mins) on ASX listed companies. You could also fetch it with a screen scrape of google finance (also delayed). Since you are not yet listed it may take a while before either pick up your symbol. I believe both get their data from csinitiative which is a pay-for service. I'm not sure what programming language you are using but the Yahoo service certainly has many libraries already built in python/ruby/java.

Getting data from Yahoo is straight forward.

Here's a link for MSFT: http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=MSFT

To get data for the ASX add .AX to the end of the code, eg

http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=MPL.AX

I've written an article about about acquiring and graphing stock market data:

Adding an ".AX" at the end of each of stocks enabled me to get the data:

stock_list = ["ANZ.AX", "WBC.AX", "CBA.AX", "QAN.AX", "WOW.AX"]
