Using jQuery and Google Finance to Create a Simple Stock Ticker
View Comments

Posted: November 17th, 2011 - I needed to create a simple stock ticker for my company's intranet portal a few days ago. I found some information on stackoverflow suggesting that you could make an ajax call to Goggle Finance and get a JSON response. I hooked it up and it works perfectly.

Here is the complete code first

$(document).ready(function() {

  $.getJSON('https://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=NYSE:AIR&callback=?', function(response){
    var stockInfo = response[0];
    var stockString = '<div class="stockWrapper">STOCK:';
    stockString += '<span class="stockSymbol">'+stockInfo.t+'</span>';
    stockString += '<span class="stockPrice">'+stockInfo.l+'</span>';
    stockString += '<span class="stockChange">'+stockInfo.c+'</span>';
    stockString += '<span>at</span> <span class="stockTime">'+stockInfo.ltt+'</span>';
    stockString += '</div>';
    $('.stockTick').prepend(stockString);
  });
 
});
 

It's pretty simple right? Put the above code in a script tag in your page header. Just change the NYSE:AIR part in the request string to YourExchange:YourSymbol. Also, remember to put a div on the the page with css class stockTick.
