Re: How to use jsl to download yahoo's U.S. stock quotes.

Hi @lwx228 

can you try the following script:

Open ("https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/GE?period1=-252374400&period2=1636243200&interval=1d&events=history&includeAdjustedClose=true");

you can get the link by first setting the table in on the webpage and click apply.

then, right click on download and copy the link location. this is actually a link to a CSV file that opens correctly with just the open command and no other specifications required.

You can directly access Yahoo's website data by going to:

      File=>Internet Open=>Web Page

The data table it downloads has a "Source" entry which provides one with the JSL that can be used to directly open the table from JSL

So here is the script that directly opens the Yahoo table

names default to here(1);
Open(
	"https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/GE/history?period1=-252374400&period2=1583107200&interval=1d&filter=history&frequency=1d",
	HTML Table( 1, Column Names( 1 ), Data Starts( 2 ) )
);

Thank Jim!

But why only 100 rows of data can be downloaded with jim's JSL?I can get all the dates by downloading the file.
The range of dates compared to the link is the same.
