How to Get Realtime Stock Data From Google

1 min read

Sometime back we discussed about how to get Intraday backfill data from Google and this short article focus on how to get Realtime stock data from Google. Google provides realtime cash market/index/currency data for most of the markets in JSON format.

Url format to retrive Realtime Quotes

http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=AAPL
http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=NSE:NIFTY

You can get multiple quotes in a single request by comma separating the symbols on q parameter.

http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=NSE:NIFTY,NSE:RELIANCE

sample JSON output format for Nifty Spot Index(India)

Google finance can return stock quotes using the JSON format, with can be read programming langugages like PHP,Python,Java..etc

// [ { “id”: “207437” ,”t” : “NIFTY” ,”e” : “NSE” ,”l” : “7,329.65” ,”l_fix” : “7329.65” ,”l_cur” : “Rs.7,329.65″ ,”s”: “0” ,”ltt”:”3:31PM GMT+5:30″ ,”lt” : “May 28, 3:31PM GMT+5:30″ ,”lt_dts” : “2014-05-28T15:31:28Z” ,”c” : “+11.65″ ,”c_fix” : “11.65” ,”cp” : “0.16” ,”cp_fix” : “0.16” ,”ccol” : “chg” ,”pcls_fix” : “7318” } ]

sample python code to fetch realtime stock data

from urllib import urlopen
import json
def googleQuote(ticker):
    url = '%s%s' % ('<a href="http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=">http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=</a>', ticker)
    doc = urlopen(url)
    content = doc.read()
    quote = json.loads(content[3:])
    quote = float(quote[0][u'l'])
    return quote
if __name__ == "__main__":
    ticker = 'GOOG'
    print googleQuote(ticker)

To fetch the data every 30th second here is the python code. The below code prints the Quote for Reliance stock on NSE every 30 seconds.

import urllib2
import json
import time

class GoogleFinanceAPI:
def __init__(self):
self.prefix = “http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=”

def get(self,symbol,exchange):
url = self.prefix+”%s:%s”%(exchange,symbol)
u = urllib2.urlopen(url)
content = u.read()

obj = json.loads(content[3:])
return obj[0]

if __name__ == “__main__”:
c = GoogleFinanceAPI()

while 1:
quote = c.get(“RELIANCE”,”NSE”)
print quote
time.sleep(30)

    Can we use this data for real time Algo trading ? Is it delayed data ? And how can I get historical (atleast 1 yrs) RT data to backtest my strategies ?

  7. Pravin – For Algo Trading Live level 3 data is required which no data providers provide you can only take through exchange itself.

    Historical data can purchased from Exchanges it self.

  9. Hi,

    I am using above url to get real time data. I figured out all values except ”s”: “0” tag. Any idea what it stands for?

    Also, if we are using this url to get data for different markets, is there anyway to determine if markets are open or closed?

    Thanks.

    1. I figured out “s” tag, “s” stands for session possible values are “0” (zero) – normal market, “1” – pre-market and “2” – after hours.

      Still need to figure out, how to determine that market is closed … especially needed for markets where there is no pre-market or after hours trading

  10. Hi guys,
    some help required. I tried above script. when i run in python i am getting the following error.
    quote = c.get(“RELIANCE”, “NSE”)
    AttributeError: GoogleFinanceAPI instance has no attribute ‘get’

I request your good-self to please suggest to me whether one could set up an independent algo trading co-located facility, if one were to have a broker’s license and what would be the approx costs.Any details about it is welcome.

  15. I use following code in my javascript and works perfectly fine.

    var googData = “http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=NSE:”+KEY.nseCode+””;
    $.get(googData, function(data){
    var jsonElement = data.replace(“//”,””).replace(“[“,””).replace(“]”,””);
    var jsonVar = JSON.parse(jsonElement);
    var instr = jsonVar.l;
    var pnum = instr.replace(“,”,””);
    var stPrice = parseInt(pnum);
    });

    -neo

  19. Hi Rajandran, first of all, i would like to thank you for this post. I tried using above URLs but now i think it stopped working, so i tried using this link: https://www.google.com/finance/getprices?i=1&p=1d&f=d,o,h,l,c,v&df=cpct&x=NSE&q=VEDL,RELIANCE to get data of multiple stocks, but it returns merely this:

    EXCHANGE%3DNSE
    MARKET_OPEN_MINUTE=555
    MARKET_CLOSE_MINUTE=930
    INTERVAL=1
    COLUMNS=DATE,CLOSE,HIGH,LOW,OPEN,VOLUME
    DATA=

    Any solution on how do i retrieve data for multiple symbols?
