Today is my day to wonder about things.
If I wanted to get hourly stock quotes using AppleScript:
Where would I start?
You know - to chart changes in the market.
I actually bought a few shares of Apple.
I have created a FileMaker database to store the data. [I get the
quotes and enter them manually now.]
I can do all of the FileMaker Scripting but what do I use as a
source to get the quote in the first place.
The Stock Widget that comes with the computer shows the current
price of selected stocks.
I don't know if that is scriptable or not.
I could use some help with the direction to try for this.
Thanks for the insight
Oakley
