>>>>>Hi all! -- I've got a project in the gestation stage that will need to get current stock prices and to look up stock symbols. Is there a web service out there that hosts this information? If not, is there some non-proprietary method for getting the information other than going to some place like E*Trade?

>>>Those are not web-services so will he be able to automatically get daily updates from these screens? Not exactly sure what he wants to use it for, but if it's a one-shot thing then I guess that would work.

>>we scan them every 5 minutes

>Great, what do you use to do that?
