I found this works for Nasdaq and other indexes
if (symbol.IndexOf("^") == 0)
{
url = "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/q?s=" + symbol + "&d=t&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgvj1pp2wern";

}
else
{

url = "http://quote.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=" + symbol + "&d=t&f=sl1d1t1c1ohgvj1pp2wern";
}

Dude try like this from your code:

Replace ^ with %5E

Did anyone solve this problem of the ^ being translated to the hex code "%5E"? If you enter the ^ mmaulaly in the browser within a URL it works fine. It doesn't work from within the my VB code webclient.

Looks like Yahoo Quote stopped handling URL decoding of special characters. So, when I enter ^DJI for DOW, it is encoded as "%5EDJI". At Yahoo end, the special characters are not decoded to its corresponding character value, hence Yahoo quote service does not find any price data for the encoded symbol. "INDU" in place of ^DJI works fine.
Can anybode suggest fix for this problem? Thanks.

I have the same problem getting S&P and Nasdaq. When I put in ^GSPC and ^IXIC, they are not working. But, if I put in "INDU", it works for Dow. Can anybody help?

thanks!

To get an index quote, use ^ instead of $.

Dow - ^DJI
S&P - ^GSPC
ND - ^IXIC

full list on finance.yahoo.com.

Good luck!

Title: Index values : $SPX, $COMPQ

Hi, I'm trying to get values of indexes like $SPX and $COMPQ,
Your example works great for stocks, but returns empty data for $SPX. What should I change in the url in order to get to its values?

Thanks in advance

The web service seems to work fine. It pulls data from Yahoo. My question is do I still need a flash remote package which is almost $1000? Or can we just use simple actionscript to get xml file from the web service?

Comment:
it appears that Yahoo! has moved this web service, or changed the link. The pages I have used this code on are now broken, and I can't browse directly to the web service anymore.
