Ruby YahooFinance Module

If you’ve seen my previous tutorial on using scRubyt to scour Yahoo Finance you may be interested in this. YahooFinance is a Ruby module built to much, much more. It can get varying level of Finance data for a given company.

It happens to be the cornerstone of Grism – a desktop stock tracking system.

I’m surpised this hasn’t been made available as a gem It has been made available as a gem but you can also get it at the website here.

    Doug,

    It is available as a gem – I am using it in one of my projects.
    You can install it with gem install yahoofinance (not gem install yahoo-finance, which is a different gem :-)

    I have been using yahoo data for a stock simulation website for a few months, I found it somewhat unreliable in some cases… (ok, for 95% it has been fine)

    Doh! Thanks Peter. Didn’t spot that one.
