WS, web services
Blogged date : 2006 Oct 30
I am trying to write an simple app that will help me with my stock portfolio.
One of the imputs that I need is a list of the
Fortune
500.
I have been searching for around 10 minutes now, but I can't seem to find a single
'web service' that provides this list.
For the sake of this posting, 'web service' == something I can issue an HTTP Get/Post
to and get back some data in an non-HTML format (XML, JSON, CSV, whatever).
I am going to keep looking.
If I don't find one, I am going to write one and put it on this site.
The fact that I can't just google for a service that does this tells me that we have
a long, long way to go.
