Hi all,
I don’t seem to find a stock price widget, is there one out there already by any chance?
If not, I have been trying to build one myself, but I can’t find my way around the api I’m afraid, this is all new to me.
So far I’ve figured out that I can download the price information in csv format using the yahoo api, for example:
http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=^GSPC&f=snd1l1c
I’ve added a WebParserCore and it seems to be getting the data back fine.
What I’m struggling with is to figure out how to break that data down and assign it to different labels, and ideally change the label text colour to red if the change is negative, or green if the change is positive.
I’m pretty sure that for someone familiar with the api this is a 5 mins job, I was wondering if anyone could be so kind to create a basic example for me to build on.
Thank you so much for your help.
