get_google_data

Gets intraday data (including realtime on certain exchanges) from Google Finance and returns a Pandas Dataframe.

This code is an extension of MKTSTK's script from [here] (https://mktstk.wordpress.com/2014/12/31/how-to-get-free-intraday-stock-data-with-python/) with the added functionality of being able to select the exchange from which the data is coming. There are also a few changes on the backend.

Find out more about the nature of the data and delays from [here] (http://www.google.com/intl/en/googlefinance/disclaimer/).

Note that the Google Finance API is depricated so use at your own hazard.

Usage

symbol: ticker
