So /biz/, where can I get access to NON-delayed stock price quotes for free? Most free services I have found all have delays.
I'd be in heaven if I had access to a Bloomberg terminal(hacked accounts for sale anyone?). Currently I've been using the Interactive Brokers desktop client with a trial account to watch prices but it's got a fuckin' 15 MINUTE delay. What gives?

Either a broker you have deposited money on or kill yourself.
>>1180620
Great, thanks for the input!
>>1180634
No, really. The exchanges make you pay for instant quotes, that's why shit like Bloomberg is so expensive (among other things).
>>1180648
I understand.
What online brokerage firm has the lowest minimum to open up an account?
>>1180614
scrape the data instead
>>1180667
With what.. something like BeautifulSoup or Scrapy?
>>1180670
i cant into python, but yeah beautifulsoup would work. you could also keep an eye out for open ajax endpoints

Tell me more please sir.
what exactly are you working on?
Nothing fancy. Just want the sexy look of Bloomberg Terminal, and instant quotes. It's not as fun when things are delayed.
This looks interesting:

yeah both yahoo and google provide a lot of data. another way is to pretend you're a mobile app asking for the quotes. sometimes you just need the correct headers to get in, and you can sniff this data from your own phone
>>1180690
Good idea, that'll give me some more practice with Wireshark.
>>1180691
here's something to get you started. i'm not the one who wrote it, but i use the same broker as that guy so i've been using that repo as reference myself

files of interest are AvanzaApi and AvanzaHelper
>>1180692
Thanks dude. Really appreciate it.
>>1180694
no probs, and good luck
>>1180664
Do you know any uni students? My uni has bloomberg terminals, you might be able to pay some for login details
