Getting a stock's price history

Are there any simple HTTP APIs out there which will let me get the stock price for a symbol (such as GOOG) at a specific date and time?

Something like...

http://somewebsite.com/?
    symbol=GOOG&
    year=2010&
    month=7&
    day=30&
    hour=4&
    minute=00

Giving a response of $484.85

I'm hoping to have an end result of a haskell function 开发者_如何学Pythonwhose type signature looks something like...

getQuote :: Symbol -> Date -> Time -> Price

I believe YQL with Yahoo finance can complete this task, they have data going back to 1996 looking on some stocks.

Here is an example on how to get the data in JSON-format from 2014-01-01 to 2015-01-01 for Apple stock (AAPL) via Yahoo Finance API using YQL.

The YQL query is URL-encoded:

select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.historicaldata%20where%20symbol%3D%22AAPL%22%20and%20startDate%3D%222014-01-01%22%20and%20endDate%3D%222015-01-01%22

So, if you decode it, you'll get:

select * from yahoo.finance.historicaldata where symbol="AAPL" and startDate="2014-01-01" and endDate="2015-01-01"

Just change the date values to ones you want and decode the whole thing back, for example using this URL-encoder: http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/

Then, put the whole thing together by adding the encoded query into the request URL:

http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q={ENTER_QUERY_HERE}&env=http://datatables.org/alltables.env&format=json

So, you end up with something like this:

http://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20from%20yahoo.finance.historicaldata%20where%20symbol%3D%22AAPL%22%20and%20startDate%3D%222014-01-01%22%20and%20endDate%3D%222015-01-01%22&env=http://datatables.org/alltables.env&format=json

Which will return you some fine JSON-formated data for the time period you've set.

Take a look at the Historical Securities Data API at http://www.mergent.com/servius - I don't think they'll have intraday data though...

You can find historic intraday data at http://www.myinvestorshub.com/historic_intraday_data.php ( for all countries)
