For quotes and dividends, Yahoo can return data quickly in CSV format. Both of these can also be extracted from HTML tables. Splits are only available embedded in the HTML version of dividends. There are no date range restrictions on CSV queries for quotes and dividends. For HTML queries, Yahoo takes arbitrary date ranges as arguments, but breaks results into pages of 66 entries. Please see L for more details on usage and available methods. If you just want to get historical quotes and are not interested in the details of how it is done, check out L. =head1 METHODS The basic user interface consists of three methods, as seen in the example above. Those methods are: =over =item quotes() Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the B, B, B, B, B, B, and B for that date. =item dividends() Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the B, B, and amount of the B, in that order. =item splits() Returns a list of rows (or a reference to an array containing those rows, if in scalar context). Each row contains the B, B, B split shares, and B
 split shares, in that order.

=back

The following methods override methods provided by the
Finance::QuoteHist::Generic module; more of this was necessary than is
typical for a basic query site due to the variety of query types and
data formats available on Yahoo.

=over

=item url_maker()

Returns a subroutine reference tailored for the current target mode and
parsing mode. The routine is an iterator that will produce all necessary
URLs on repeated invocations necessary to complete a query.

=item extractors()

Returns a hash of subroutine references that attempt to extract embedded
values (dividends or splits) within the results from a larger query.

=item labels()

Includes the 'adj' column.

=head1 DISCLAIMER

The data returned from these modules is in no way guaranteed, nor are
the developers responsible in any way for how this data (or lack
thereof) is used. The interface is based on URLs and page layouts that
might change at any time. Even though these modules are designed to be
adaptive under these circumstances, they will at some point probably
be unable to retrieve data unless fixed or provided with new
parameters. Furthermore, the data from these web sites is usually not
even guaranteed by the web sites themselves, and oftentimes is
acquired elsewhere.

If you would like to know more, check out the terms of service from
Yahoo!, which can be found here:

  http://docs.yahoo.com/info/terms/

If you still have concerns, then use another site-specific historical
quote instance, or none at all.

Above all, play nice.
