Stock Price update widget

Question

Hi All,

I am working on a small application where I can get the stock price of a particular company also if the price can be updated immediately. I guess there might be a widget that I can use but not sure which one or how.

Thanks

Try looking at the tutorials.

http://code.google.com/apis/finance/

or

http://developer.yahoo.com/finance/

You can update the price by using ajax, and polling the data of the desired stock.

BTW, this data will always be late data (circa 20 min.), otherwise you probably have to pay these companies for actual real-time data.
