Is there any free (non-commercial) Stock API that returns JSON

1 pointrammy12344 comments

searching the internet for some stock API for personal use , a REST API returning JSON. but i am at loss. There is no single API that is free as far as I searched. Is that something I should not be expected for Stock APIs ?

Have you tried using Yahoo finance API? https://finance.yahoo.com/webservice/v1/symbols/allcurrencie...

The above link gives the output in JSON Format.

EDIT: check this link for ticker of GOOGL in json format https://query.yahooapis.com/v1/public/yql?q=select%20*%20fro...

replace GOOGL with whatever ticker you want.

Exactly what I want it to spit out. Not a page with yahoo ads and a bunch of images and javascript that i'd have to filter out to be of any use to me.

Its an API.

What's the point of this comment? OP asked for a JSON API, parent gave an URL and said "here is a JSON API for that", you … feel the need to point out that you'd want a JSON API?)

is there any doc for this ? for forming diff filters on request and response format.
