Ask HN: What data source could I use for my stock market program?

3 points by flexterra 17y ago ↗ HN

I want to make a JavaScript or Flex widget to display stock market info. I have looked around but can't find a good free data source for this. I don't care if the data is delayed by a few minutes.

Second both these. Beyond that, I think you'd have to do screen scraping, but that doesn't seem legal/viable.
