i'm using the yahoo finance api for stock and stock option data. this used to work:
http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=VCR.X&f=l1c1n
that's once of the options for Visa. this doesn't work anymore, and when i go to yahoo finance their option symbols are all differnt now, looking like this:
VEH100220P00055000
that's an option for Visa now. and if i plug that long one into the url it doesn't work either. anyone know if they are changing things with their options and broke this?
Option symbology is highly complicated. The symbols for option chains will periodically change, when the contracts roll and new contracts are available.
If you want options market data that has been cleaned, you will probably have to pay for it. XIgnite has a couple of web services providing options data: http://www.xignite.com/xoptions.asmx
As of 1/4/16
http://finance.yahoo.com/q/?s=v160122C00075000
will return the Option quote where:
v is the Visa Ticker symbol
160122 is the Date
C is for Call (change to P for put)
00075000 is the price (or $75)
but in excel, this will place the data vertically in 2 columns (first being header, second being the data)

I've used https://github.com/691175002/BLPInterface as a wrapper to the terribly-documented (and non-supported by Bloomberg Help) Bloomberg python API. I use it to pull price histories, etc.
Lately I've needed to pull specific FX date values. In excel I do that as =#BFxForward("usdjpy",J10, "BidOutright") where J10 is a date.
I would like to pull this information via the Bloomberg Python API (or even better, with the BLPInterace wrapper) but it's not clear how to do it. I've seen someone ask a similar question for a .Net implementation, but the only answer cited page 207 of a developers guide. Every developer guide I can find on bloomberg is well less than 200 pages, and none of it mentions pulling fx values.
Wondering if anyone can point me at some examples or resources to build on to get this ?
It does take some finding, to be sure, but I tracked it down via the Bloomi Terminal. The way I found the information is as follows (for future reference):
Type DAPI in the Bloomberg Terminal
Choose 'Additional Resources' in the left hand panel
Choose 'Help Page for DAPI' in the right hand panel, and a window pops up
Choose 'Constructing Formulas' in the left hand panel
Choose 'FX Broken Dates Forwards Syntax' in the right hand panel
Or paste this link into Bloomi:
{LPHP DAPI:0:1 2277846 }
There are a lot of different examples and options (FX fwds are not my area of expertise), but simply using this format for the ticker seems to work:
ccy1/ccy2 mm/dd/yy Curncy
and then the field PX_BID. You can try this in a BDP call in Excel, for example:
=BDP("EUR/GBP 08/08/22 Curncy","PX_BID")
When it comes to Python, perhaps try using the xbbg python package (other wrappers are available): it does a good job of hiding all the intricacies of the low-level API.
Here's a code sample using xbbg, that pulls back the forward fx rate in the example:
from xbbg import blp
from datetime import datetime
ccy1 = 'EUR'
ccy2 = 'GBP'
fwdDate = datetime(2022,8,8)
ticker = '{0:}/{1:} {2:} Curncy'.format(ccy1,ccy2,fwdDate.strftime('%m/%d/%y'))
df = blp.bdp(ticker,'PX_BID')
print(df)
Output:
px_bid
EUR/GBP 08/08/22 Curncy 0.85344
EDIT: Looking at the OP's choice of Bloomi wrapper, the xbbg call could possibly be replaced by:
blp.referenceRequest(ticker, 'PX_BID')
I am trying to create a column that imports the analyst price target from TipRanks website.
I uploaded two images:
Image 1: you can see the cell that I want to import.
Image 2: you can see my function that doesn't work.
What should I change in order to get this live info?
Thanks.
The site you are checking is actually "javascript" generated thus import functions won't properly work on them.
To check, just try to import the whole site data. If it returns a javascript function, then it is javascript generated.
Sample (tipranks.com)
What you can do is actually try to find other sites that provide the same data.
I did find one with the same data you are looking for, 50.38 for csiq. Link is "https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/csiq/analystestimates". And since data is shown as table, it would be easier to import using importhtml.
Cell formula is:
=INDEX(IMPORTHTML("https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/stock/csiq/analystestimates", "table", 5), 2, 2)
Sample output:
The table is the fifth one in the DOM, and INDEX(table, 2, 2) means getting the 2nd row 2nd column of the table.
If the site is no good for you, you can try finding other sites that would suit your needs. And then use either importhtml or importxml depending on the site structure.
When you inspect the network when the website is loading you will see that the prices come when calling the forecast endpoint https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/tsla/forecast. This in turn returns an html response which is probably generated with Javascript on the client because they use React on the frontend, but you can still see the preview in the Network tab of the browser dev tools.
You can then copy the preview in VSCode and prettify it, to try and pin point the span holding the price. Of course it won't be exact science, because the html tags are generated with some media queries, but you will get close enough to some extent.
After you get the xml path but you get an empty error, you can delete some tags until you get some text. Use search in google sheets to search for highest price label, and than continue adding tags until you get the desired value.
Here is what I managed to get:
Lowest price target:
=importxml("https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/snow/forecast", "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[4]/div[2]/div[2]/div[4]/div[1]/div[1]/div[5]/span[2]")
Average price target:
=importxml("https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/snow/forecast", "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[4]/div[2]/div[2]/div[4]/div[1]/div[1]/div[3]/span[2]")
Highest price target:
=importxml("https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/snow/forecast", "/html/body/div[1]/div[1]/div[4]/div[1]/div[2]/div[1]/div[4]/div[2]/div[2]/div[4]/div[1]/div[1]/div[1]/span[2]")
In time these methods might change depending on their development process, but you could use the above steps to update the script.
P.S. I wasn't satisfied with the marketwatch analyst price targets. I think the wisdom of the crowd is better on tipranks.
Try this one. Works perfectly fine on my personal Stock Portfolio on Google Sheets:
Lowest Price Target:
=importxml(CONCATENATE("https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/", A1,"/forecast"), "//*[#class='colorpurple-dark ml3 mobile_fontSize7 laptop_ml0']")
Average Price Target:
=importxml(CONCATENATE("https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/", A4,"/forecast"), "//*[#class='colorgray-1 ml3 mobile_fontSize7 laptop_ml0']")
Highest Price Target:
=importxml(CONCATENATE("https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/", A4,"/forecast"), "//*[#class='colorpale ml3 mobile_fontSize7 laptop_ml0']")
I'm currently attempting to integrate with the Neto Ecommerce API. I've hit all sorts of limitations that I never see on other platforms and the latest is to do with custom fields.
The API Im using is the GetOrders API, and Im following the requirements to fetch transaction information, however custom fields appear to be missing. Hoping someone out there has made use of this API to extract custom fields and can advise on how to go about getting custom field information.
Any tips appreciated
var netoString = '{"Filter":{"OrderID":[""],"OutputSelector":["ID","ShippingOption","DeliveryInstruction","RelatedOrderID","cust1"]};
Is there an undocumented naming convention used to fetch custom fields or other pattern I can try to see if I can fetch the data?
I am not certain this will be the same for the API, but when using exports the correct format to access Custom Sales Order Fields is "customer_ref1".
To get a Custom Customer Fields is "usercustom1"
Note: For the Custom Customer Fields, the numbers do not match up correctly (I.E. usercustom1 doesn't match misc1 in the cpanel). The correct matches are:
misc1=usercustom1
misc2=usercustom4
misc3=usercustom5
misc4=usercustom6
misc5=usercustom7
misc6=usercustom11
misc7=usercustom12
misc8=usercustom13
misc9=usercustom14
misc10=usercustom15
misc11=usercustom16
misc12=usercustom17
misc13=usercustom18
misc14=usercustom19

misc16=usercustom21
misc17=usercustom22
misc18=usercustom23
misc19=usercustom24
misc20=usercustom25
misc21=usercustom10
misc22=usercustom26
misc23=usercustom27
misc24=usercustom28

I read some answers from other pages and found http://steamcommunity.com/profiles//inventory/json/570/2 is how I can get the list of the player's inventory.

Is there any way to make it more neater so I can read the data? Or can anyone give me any ideas about how to process these data? Thanks heaps
This data is in JSON format(http://www.json.org/). It is suited to be consumed by applications. So you should write a little program that will read this data, parse it and query more elements. For example (just guessing here) that there an API where you can get an item by its ID (something like http://steamcommunity.com/items/7832200468).
The output of this program could be a list (text or HTML) of items with their names, values, rarity, etc
Edit: also this: Getting someone's Steam inventory
Is there a way to get an item in another currency using the eBay API?
Very simple. All you have to do is change the site ID parameter. Since you didn't specify a language, I'm going to assume you're doing this HTTP-GET and just parsing the XML. The same principles will apply regardless of how you do it, programatically or not.
For a URL:
"http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping"
?callname=GetSingleItem
&responseencoding=XML
&appid=[APPID]
&siteid=2 <------------This, for example, is Canada's siteid. 0 is US. This will change the currency returned under < ConvertedCurrentPrice>
&version=839
&ItemID=181195344321
Put it all together and you get this copy/paste-friendly "http://open.api.ebay.com/shopping?callname=GetSingleItem&responseencoding=XML&appid=[APPID]&siteid=2&version=839&ItemID=181195344321"
Make sure to use your app ID as the parameter.
You can use this call for currency change:
Currency type can be changed in Ebay while listing an item using Add Item call in Ebay's trading API.

Thanks CedCommerce
You can and it's actually very simple. You can use the Shopping API GetSingleItem.
Depending on what currency you are interested in, all you have to do is change the SiteID on which you are making the call. For example, if you want to get the price in EUR, you can set the SiteID to 3(UK), or 77(Germany). You will also have to set the IncludeSelector to "Details". This way, you will get a response that will contain the following fields.
<ConvertedCurrentPrice currencyID="GBP">68.55</ConvertedCurrentPrice>
<CurrentPrice currencyID="USD">92.9</CurrentPrice>
where the CurrentPrice is the original price of the listing, on the ebay site the listing was made, and the ConvertedCurrentPrice is the price of the listing on the site that corresponds to the SiteID you supplied.
You can see a full list of SiteIDs with the currencies they are using here
