hello,

I'm looking for a JavaScript widget that I can paste in a webpage to show the current price of a stock. Ideally it would just return the raw number so I could then apply my own formatting.

Do you know if such a widget exists?

If your after live data you will be paying tens of thousands of dollars. If you want delayed data there may be one out there, im not sure personally
 
I'd want this widget for my website My Share Trading

If you find one let me know :)

At the moment there are multiple places where you can get the price for free, but typically with a delayed feed of 20 minutes.
 
Unfortunately didn't find an existing widget...

But I'm a programmer so intend to make it myself. I won't share it for free though because it will require interaction with my server, and a lot of users would require more maintenance.

How much do you think people would be willing to pay for such a service? I have 1 client so far.
 
You should be aware that that all exchanges charge fees for the display of data on a web site. The extent of the fee relates to whether the data is display real-time, delayed, end-of-day or next day. This is irrespective of the source of the data.

For example, the ASX charges $15,000 per anuum (+GST) for you to display intraday delayed price data on a web site. The fee is $5,000 (+GST) for end-of-day price data on a web site. Additional fees apply for other information too (fundamental data, corporate actions etc.).

rbp - if you are acting as a redistributor of data you will also have redsitribution fees involved too.

as TraderPro said previously there are many sources for free delayed stock data. I have scraped from them before.
 
The source is not the issue. The ASX don't actually care about the source.

They care about someone being licensed to display the data.

If you are acting as a redistributor for the data (again, irrespective of source) then you need to pay redistribution fees.
 
thanks for advice.
So how much do you think people would be willing to pay for such a service?
 
awesome - you found a widget. That will hopefully save me time. How come you didn't share that info before?
 
hmm - unfortunately that widget is US only. Also it comes with all the Yahoo branding.

I am after ASX data with no branding - just the quote. Seems such a widget does not exist.
 
Widgets for quotes are easy to find in Google. Took me about 30 seconds to find it. However, they will include branding... Did you think that a quote window would be provided by someone like Yahoo without branding?

Perhaps there's a reason for it not being available for ASX securities - the licensing costs on the ASX are significant and it's not a viable business for anyone to try and do it.

Weblink do have a commercial web quote product but they primarily target it at listed companies (since they have a licensing waiver in publishing quotes of their own company's stock price).
