Yahoo Finance RSS Beta

Radio Userland 8 doesn't like it. Error I get when trying to subscribe is:

Can't subscribe to the channel. The most likely
cure is to check the URL in a web browser and
see if you can get it to read the feed. The
following message probably won't help you
figure out what went wrong, but we include
it here because it might. "Can't get the
address of "language" because the table
doesn't have an object with that name."

I notice that there's a "language" element in other RSS feeds (value: "en-us") that's not in yours; maybe that's the problem?

Hi there - feed works with Aggie too. Very cool idea & great initiative!

Suggestion: Rename feeds to "Yahoo! Finance News: {TICKER}" instead of "{TICKER} - Yahoo! Finance news" - it will group all those feeds together in news aggregators that sort feeds alphabetically?

Confirmed: no go from Radio. I didn't even check before posting. Neither did Dave :-)

If you stay with .91, then the language element is required (as mentioned above). In .92, it's optional.

No big deal, obviously. Nice going, Jeremy!

Yep, works in Radio 8 now. Nice work, Jeremy!

Great idea. But I can't get it to work in NewzCrawler.

Nice! From me you know to expect things like this:

-- what if the channel link was to info about the company, such as http://finance.yahoo.com/q?d=t&s=YHOO ?

-- would it be easy/possible to generate the first item to be quote info? Last trade price and change, for example.

Hope all is well.

It works nicely with Feedreader. Welldone

Works fine in NetNewsWire Lite. However, the feed is missing a key element - the stock price itself.
How about inserting the current price (or close) as the top item, with a link to the DayWatch or chart page?

Got it to work in NewzCrawler. Sweet!

I have added the search mechanism to nuzee.com as a test.

Very nice and thank you.

Suggestions: Please add the RSS copyright element so I can properly attribute Yahoo, and the image element so I can use an officially sanctioned Yahoo logo.

Seems to work ok with Jabrss - http://JabXPCOM.sunsite.dk/jabrss/

Although I don't seem to get anything for exchange rates i.e. http://rss.finance.yahoo.com/rss/get?ticker=GBP=X

This rocks. Thanks for fixing it so I can slurp feeds with Radio. I hope this lasts. :)

Works great in the NewsRoom Aggregator too...
Thanks for the amazingly useful resource!

Works Great with MyHeadlines http://www.jmagar.com

Thanks!

Works great in Headline Viewer (www.headlineviewer.com).

Clicking on that RSS link reveals that the beta test is now over, and that there is no longer any financial data in the RSS feed.

Works great for me too.

Ain't seemin' to be workin' right? :)

It makes sense to me, I have to agree with you.

Someone else named Tom (not me!) said in an earlier message that they'd tried it with Feedreader and it worked. It didn't work for me, unfortunately. I'm running Feedreader 2.7, build 646.

I use SharpReader as my RSS agregator. I tried to use the URL for getting news from Yahoo Finance. It didn't work for me. So, then I tried to cut and paste the URL to the MY Yahoo news reader function. Failed there too. Is this still a valid feed?

Chris,

Yahoo appear to have turned off this feature for some time now. You can get rss stock feeds by using the following urls...
(Yahoo and google)
http://www.xanadb.com/ticker/YHOO+GOOG
(100 microsoft + 300 apple)
http://www.xanadb.com/ticker/msft:100+aapl:300

There are more details at http://www.xanadb.com/archive/perl/20030617

Hi,

I've made an alternative to Walters alternative, Yahoo to RSS stock service.

http://blog.tc.dk/2005/01/yahoo-stock-to-rss-converter.php

(it's open source and with an option to calc win/loss).

PocketRSS on Windows Mobile 2003 doesn't like the feed :(

i think yahoo has taken a very good step to inrease its members family

For many reasons, more and more people are opting to retire at an early age. The growing trend for the retirement is based on the fact that people are enticed to retire early than continue working and wait until they reach their retirement age of 65.
