I'm surprised the JSE doesn't have coin access toilets in their building given the way they charge for price data.

 

Anyway, short answer is that you cannot get live JSE price data for free.  You can get 15 min delayed for free though.

Hi.

 

Thanks for all the feedback.

 

Unfortunately JSE pricing for their data feeds is slightly ridiculous, so thats out. Google Finance discontinued their Finance API awhile ago as well .

 

Seems my most viable option is to scrape a webpage ( google, sharenet or moneyweb ) for data. However scraping webpages for data means whenever the website changes their formatting, it can break my app. I'm also not sure if there's any legal implications.

 

So I don't think I'm going through with this

Hi.

 

Does anyone know if the JSE or any other site has a public API or server that publishes JSE stock values ? I'm thinking of writing a mobile app to track portfolios, but I can't find an easy source of stock prices.

Hey Kindread, Google finance has just teamed up with the JSE to provide data on the listed stocks on the JSE.

The bloomberg app is also worth checking out. <br /><br />Sent from my GT-I9300 using Sharenet Sharechat mobile app<br /><br />

Sharenet's and Moneyweb's apps are terrible. Definitely lots of room for improvement:

You can incorporate many of the features that bloomberg's app has such as RSI, MA, Bollinger, graphs for different time periods, comparison graphs, value of your portfolio etc.

But also make it just for SA markets, like sharenet, with all the spot prices, indices, warrants etc.

 

Good luck!

Awesome. Thanks.

I want to do this more for the learning experience than anything, I'm not really trying to fill a niche . Although if I manage to get it going and there's features anyone would like to suggest that aren't in the other apps I'd be happy to try and include them.

Nice idea but I can already do this using a number of apps e.g. bloomberg, moneyweb etc. not sure it is worth your time..
