Stock Quotes Module - Comments Wanted11/4/2005 12:02:09 PM

0/0

I'm just trying to gauge an interest in a module that I threw together the other day for displaying latest stock information. You can see it in action of the homepage of http://www.bestmodules.com under Technology Stocks. It's not really anything fancy, but fulfilled my goal of using a web service in a module.

If enough people express a desire, I will try to throw together an installation PA and a source package.

If you have comments on improvements, please let me know that as well. Right now, the module only has one setting which is a space delimited list of stock symbols. If the stock is currently down in price, the number is in red. Otherwise, they are black. All stocks in the list are listed alphabetically.

Anyway, have a look and tell me what you think.

Jeff Johnson

Can the URL's used to get stock information be changed?  And for us intranet users behind firewalls, can we use proxy authentication to get this info so that a user will not have to enter their logon info every time they visit the site.
I have had this problem before with any module that gets it's data from the big bad internet, and have been looking for a transparent solution to validate against a proxy server behind the scenes.

Thanks....

Interesting, but spartan.  How about scrolling the list?  Or tooltips that expose additional info?  How about choosing the data source?

Great question about the proxy issue. This wasn't something that I had considered since I really initially developed it for my specific use which is through a hosting company and not from an intranet. Are you able to get the core News Feeds (RSS) module to work behind your firewall? If so, I believe that we could use the same proxy configuration that that module uses which I believe is configured in the Host Settings.

Rlyda,

Good questions. Would you see the scrolling as configurable meaning you could either have it scrolling horizontally or vertically depending on an optional setting? Tooltip right now just displays the company name but could be updated to display whatever other information is available via the webservice. Good idea about changing the datasource.

I must state again, however, that this was never meant as an all inclusive solution. It was more of proving to myself that it could be done. The module exactly mimics how I view my stocks in My Yahoo without some of the other bells and whistles. I'm simply offering to share it if there is merit.

Jeff: You asked for comments...

The display on your site looks fine to me.  Clean and readable at a glance.  I don't know if you are aware, but there's already one free module available at InvesBot.com that includes a ticker, portfolio viewer and financial calculator.

What I'd LOVE to see is a real-time stock ticker, not delayed.

Thank you for building and giving away great modules.

Best regards,


Sam Tanner

Sam,

I welcome all comments.

I too would love a real-time stock ticket but I don't believe you can get this without subscribing and paying for a service.

 

Thank you for the link to InvestBot.com. I hadn't seen that one.

Real-Time data cost subscription I am sure you can modify existing modules with your subscription account from Insternet and other data providers.  Hope this helps.

By the way, the web service I am using is from:
http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?WSDL

I have no idea how often prices are updated because I did not see anything in the documentation.

I thought that I had the code here at work, but I will post it to my website later this evening just in case anybody wants it.

You are using the service free so by default the data is twenty minutes delayed.  Hope this helps.

Caddre,

Thank you. That is about what I would expect. My Yahoo is also delayed 20 minutes.

I guess this begs the question if anyone knows of a free real-time quote service?

Okay, I have uploaded separate downloads for a private assembly installation and one for the source code. I hope that someone can learn from it.

Jeff, this one is labeled "real-time", but I'm not sure if it's free:
