Answer 1

I try to take jQuery out of the equation. The following code will work as long as you whitelist "finance.yahoo.com".

var request = new XMLHttpRequest();
request.open("GET", "http://finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv?s=GAIL.NS+BPCL.NS+%5ENSEI&f=snl1hgp", true);
request.onreadystatechange = function() {//Call a function when the state changes.
    if (request.readyState == 4) {
        if (request.status == 200 || request.status == 0) {
            console.log(request.responseText);
        }
    }
}
request.send();
