The simplest way as you have explained is this link this is for   Dow Jones Industrial Average   Link 2 is for  NASDAQ-100   and for all related to NASDAQ link 3   I think this should be it  else you want same in JSON notations the same as Microsoft  Please refer this old post I think this will help   Update   To know the details of volume and other details  I have created a vbscript that is using IE object to fetch details from the link  and alerts the content in the particular id Create a  vbs file and run it    Set IE   CreateObject  InternetExplorer Application   while IE readyState   4  WScript Sleep 10  wend IE Navigate  https   www google com finance q INDEXNASDAQ 3ANDX amp sq NASDAQ amp sp 2 amp ei B3UoUsiIH5DIlgPEsQE  IE visible   true while IE readyState   4  WScript Sleep 10  wend dim ht ht  IE document getElementById  market-data-div   innerText msgBox ht IE quit   this will alert the values from page like this  3 124 54 0 00  0 00   Sep 4 - Close INDEXNASDAQ real-time data - Disclaimer Range       - 52 week 2 494 38 - 3 149 24 Open        - Vol     0 00   I am sure this will help

The problem with Yahoo and Google data is that it violates terms of service if you re using it for commercial use  When your site app is still small it s not biggie  but as soon as you grow a little you start getting cease and desists from the exchanges  A licensed solution example is FinancialContent  http   www financialcontent com json php or Xignite

The Google Finance Gadget API has been officially deprecated since October 2012  but as of April 2014  it s still active    http   www google com finance info q NASDAQ GOOG http   www google com finance info q CURRENCY GBPUSD http   finance google com finance info client ig amp q AAPL YHOO   You can also get charts  https   www google com finance getchart q YELP  Note that if your application is for public consumption  using the Google Finance API is against Google s terms of service   Check google-finance-get-stock-quote-realtime for the complete code in python

In order to find chart data using the financial data API of Google  one must simply go to Google as if looking for a search term  type finance into the search engine  and a link to Google finance will appear  Once at the Google finance search engine  type the ticker name into the financial data API engine and the result will be displayed  However  it should be noted that all Google finance charts are delayed by 15 minutes  and at most can be used for a better understanding of the ticker s past history  rather than current price   A solution to the delayed chart information is to obtain a real-time financial data API  An example of one would be the barchartondemand interface that has real-time quote information  along with other detailed features that make it simpler to find the exact chart you re looking for  With fully customizable features  and specific programming tools for the precise trading information you need  barchartondemand s tools outdo Google finance by a wide margin

Perhaps of interest  the Google Finance API documentaton includes a section detailing how to access different parameters via JavaScript   I suppose the JavaScript API might be a wrapper to the JSON request you mention above    perhaps you could check which HTTP requests are being sent

There s a whole API for managing portfolios   Link removed  Google no longer provides a developer API for this   Getting stock quotes is a little harder   I found one article where someone got stock quotes using Google Spreadsheets   You can also use the gadgets but I guess that s not what you re after   The API you mention is interesting but doesn t seem to be documented  as far as I ve been able to find anyway    Here is some information on historical prices  just for reference sake
