Standard and fast way to get almost any kind of marked data
We have discovered a new website that makes getting
market data a lot easier than it used to be.
It is called Quandl.com.
How can Quandl help you?
Downloading data
Most
importantly, Quandl provides a standard way to access almost any kind
of financial data you can imagine.
Basic charts
Quandl provides basic charts
to discover the entire downloadable time frame or for embedding it to
your website.
Basic data manipulation for analysis
You can combine datasets and
apply basic transformations to data such as calculating day-by-day
absolute and relative change or normalize data.
Importing data into other softwares automatically
Registered
users get access to software packages that allow automatic data
importing to Excel,Matlab, Python, Maple etc...
How does it work?
Quandl has indexed millions of time-series datasets
from over 400 sources. All of Quandl's datasets are open and free.
Since Quandl is only indexing data sources, the site is
rather a search engine than a data provider. If copyright data seems
to be served through Quandl's website, they can be notified and that
dataset is going to be removed from the index.
Unregistered users are limited to access to Quandl's
data 50 times per day.
(Registered users' access
limit is 500 / day)
