Google Adapter Trouble with Australian Stocks

[Aussie2]

Google adapter for NT7B6 works well for daily stock data from the US market.

However I could not download daily stock data for the Australian market. Instead get a log message "Failed to retreive data from Google"

Tried using various symbol codes such as ASX:??? and ???:ASX, where ??? is replaced by stock symbol code so for National Australia Bank I tried ASX:NAB and NAB:ASX.

When I go to the Google Finance pages with either above codes am able to access charts/data for the relevant symbol.

Can anyone reproduce this problem?

Happy new year to all!

Happy New Year to you and your family, too - will try reproducing here with the australian symbols you mentioned, thanks for your support.

Could reproduce here, even on AUD as currency = we'll look into, thanks for reporting.

I just tweaked the NT Google adapter code to properly process the ':' in NAB:ASX.

However, it does not help since there appears to be a limitation in the Google system itself: Google would be unable to provide the data for that instrument (and probably others as well) in the csv format required by NT. Meaning, this URL:

http://finance.google.com/finance/historical?q=ASX%3ANAB&output=csv

... would not work, whereas e.g.

http://finance.google.com/finance/historical?q=MSFT&output=csv

... would work as expected.

Sorry for the bad news.

google doesnt provide EOD data in csv format for most of the markets. include NSE (India) in the nyet list

Thanks Bertrand/Dierk for checking it out, and for the confirmation.
