Google-Finance

Fetching stock Data from Google Finance API. This is just for informational purpose as Google does not actively support finance API now.

Usage

There are two functions that you should know.

Stock getStockDetails(String exchange, String ticker) throws IOException;
List<Stock> getStockDetails(String exchange, String[] tickers) throws IOException;

The data is to be inserted in data.properties file. You can have a single quote or multiple quotes. For multiple quotes, use comma separated tickers and use java's String.split() and pass it to getStockDetails(String exchange, String[] tickers) to get a list of stocks.

Properties props = new Properties();
String basePath = MainClass.class.getResource("/").getPath();
InputStream is = new FileInputStream(basePath+"data.properties");
props.load(is);
String exchange = props.getProperty("exchange");
String tickers = props.getProperty("ticker");

The above code lines will get you the exchange and ticker data from properties file.
