stock quotes, free

Does anyone know if one can still get free stock quotes anywhere? I've looked and I think the answer is no. Just wondering if anyone knew of a free, or of a very close to free solution. Gilbert Midonnet GLM Designs

Quotes is truly a case where you get what you pay for.

I assume that you mean something other than scraping public websites, right? There are several custom tags available in the developer's exchange to do this, but most, I think, scrape Yahoo or Reuters or some other source. Still, they might be worth looking into. www.pcquote.com <http://www.pcquote.com/>;  used to offer decent prices for small sites.  I've only ever used them for one ticker symbol tho'.  For example to do the investor relations area of a corporate site you'd only need that company's symbol: PCQuotes offered a cheap plan to get quotes for just that one symbol.

NASDAQ used to offer an XML file you could use.  If you go to the quote request page, you enter some stock symbols, and it returns a page to you.  If you look at the URL, there was an option to set the format of the results (HTML/XML/etc.).   Only two problems with this - you can only request (up to) 10 symbols at a time, and the information is about 20 minutes old.  However, if you can live with the 20 minute old data, then you can write a system to request multiple symbols via multiple requests.  I would just take care not to abuse their bandwidth though. I haven't looked at NASDAQs site for quite some time now, so don't know fer sure if they still offer this. Shawn I assume that you mean something other than scraping public websites, right?
