[GNC] "Get Quotes" from the price database feedback

[Kalpesh Patel]

Since I needed a multi-purpose historical quote downloader, I had written up a python script that downloads them and write out in to various formats.  

 

Attached is the source code which required yahoo_fin and lxml python modules to work correctly. It can be provided with two options in fixed order, the first is the file name to read the tickers symbols from and second is number of days of historical quotes to download.

Have you considered using a Google spreadsheet along with:

 

GOOGLEFINANCE("NASDAQ:GOOG", "price", DATE(2014,1,1), DATE(2014,12,31), "DAILY")

GOOGLEFINANCE("NASDAQ:GOOG","price",TODAY()-30,TODAY())

It lets you get the prices on a range of dates.
