Irish Stock Exchange Feed

I am looking for running data on the ISE and their website sends me to a German site where I can't find the data. There was a thread about this a few years ago but only got a couple of responses and none of them are great.
Obviously some sort of API would be perfect but just getting the data in any format will do.

I can visit ise.ie without getting redirected to a German site.

They link to the German site for this information, sorry for the confusion

I saw this and was hoping there was more information, is there anyway to get the data without paying for it? a financial site perhaps?

Dunno about the Irish exchange, but for bigger ones you can scrape yahoo or google. Failing that you have to pay big bucks to get access via Bloomberg etc.

Paying money is out of the question to be honest, some sort of website scraping is probably my best bet.

I've never done it before but looking at the yahoo site the data should be very easy to retrieve. I'm hoping to do it from a phone so that could make it a little harder.

Not really. Scraping code in java for android is pretty much the same as regular java.

Or you could just use their API....

Hmm yeah they seem to have improved it since I last looked: http://www.gummy-stuff.org/Yahoo-data.htm

Found another link for yahoo finance stuff http://code.google.com/p/yahoo-finance-managed/wiki/YahooFinanceAPIs

Oh, well now I feel a bit stupid. For some reason it never crossed my mind that yahoo might have an open api.

srsly78

Ah I think I remember why we used web scraping in the past, the API limits the number of calls you can make a day. Also it doesn't give any data on options (as in stock options, not api options ).

edit: Ok now I see the link above shows how to get option data wtf... This must be new.

Has anyone ever used the Yahoo Query Language? Looks promising. http://developer.yahoo.com/yql/guide/index.html
