I have written my own stock picking program and would like to use your .ssg files to do my fundamentals calculations. Ideally, I'd like to download on Monday all the files that you changed over the weekend or, even better, all that have changed since I last downloaded. (The latter would handle the case of my being on vacation for a couple weeks.)
Have you created a web service API (REST, XML-RPC or SOAP) that I could use to do this? If not, would you be willing to? The advantage to you is that it would be secure and you could limit traffic. If this whole concept is new, you could look at http://developer.yahoo.net or http://www.google.com/apis for examples of how others handle it.
If you have not created a web service, would you be willing to share with me how ITK grabs files? I'm sure I could modify my program to work the same way. |

No, we can't help with this. We're not in the data business -- we're in the investment analysis business. Our data is provided to us by Hemscott for use in our authorized applications and not for resale or bulk downloading. If you have an application in which you'd like to use similar data, you should contact Hemscott directly to see about setting up a subscription that would allow you to do this.
