Calling finance.yahoo api using jquery

Question

I want to send http request for fetching finance.yahoo stock data with url like : http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GAIL.NS+BPCL.NS+%5ENSEI&f=snl1hgp which returns

Answer 1

I think that the problem is the request is cross domain. There is another question about this here:

Cross-Domain get CSV file

and another answer here :Yahoo JSONP Ajax Request Wrapped in callback function

and a working example here: Displaying ajax results from yahoo finance using underscore.js

Here is a working jsfiddle which makes a jsonp request to d.yimg.com to get the data http://jsfiddle.net/gp6zL/

    YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback = function (data) {
        alert(JSON.stringify(data));
    };
    var query;
    query = 'Google';
    if (query.length > 0) {

        $.ajax({
            type: "GET",
            url: "http://d.yimg.com/autoc.finance.yahoo.com/autoc",
            data: {
                query: query
            },
            dataType: "jsonp",
            jsonp: "callback",
            jsonpCallback: "YAHOO.Finance.SymbolSuggest.ssCallback",
        });
    }
