Finally: Embed a REAL stock chart on your blog or website
Today, Wikinvest launches the web’s first-ever interactive, embeddable stock chart. The charts are as easy to embed as a YouTube video, and your users can click, drag, pan, zoom, and play with no page refresh. And it’s all completely free.
If you’ve ever tried to include a stock chart in your blog, you know it’s a real pain: Press prnt-scrn while you’re on some finance website, paste it into a photo editor, crop the image, save, upload the image to your blog, include it in your post. No longer.
Our charts are zippy and responsive, because we think there’s nothing worse than a slow stock chart. Here’s an example chart, for Yahoo over the last seven months. You’ll also notice wikinvest’s user-generated annotations explaining major price movements:
The charts are fully customizable - you can embed a chart for almost all companies traded on U.S. and international exchanges, as well as commodities traded on CBOT and other exchanges. You can select zoom levels, date ranges, size, and whether or not to display annotations.
You can create your own custom chart at http://www.wikinvest.com/special/Embed_Stock_Chart
Guys,
This is phenomenal! I searched high and low for a decent way to embed stock charts. I can’t believe no one has commented on this. Thanks heaps!
apparently mutual funds have a problem. they seem tob e stuck in getting data.
Phenomenal indeed.
And yes, they are zippy and responsive! Great work guys. This is really appreciated by me. I use it on my own blog now.
sincerely.
I see in the terms of use these charts cannot be used on commercial websites, which is a good chuck of the internet. Are there plans to offer a paid version, or can someone recommend a reasonably-priced commercial alternative?
Very Nice! AFAIK, you are the only one providing this right now. I will embed this on our website in the coming days.
Simply fantastic
Excellent job! However, do the terms of use regarding sites of “a non-commercial nature” apply to blogs or sites that use Adsense?
wonderful,
if this were able to do comparisions (like the bloomberg’s interactive chart here: http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/quote?ticker=DIS:US) it will make wikinvest a total rockstar.
Congrats guys, I hope you keep kicking ass like this =D
