Here's a solution!

Well, the yahoo link doesn't seem to be working for me today, so I connected through Yahoo Finance and downloaded the HTML. 

A bit of cleaning, a bit of RegEx, and voila! A useable table. When I can actually connect to the API, I will post a new solution.

I totally agree with you DanG

Yahoo API doesn't work and I used "Barchart on demand". It's free, but requires registration.

The solution can be improved by creating input for dates, splits, dividends, time-frames (weekly or daily).

Hey @MattD,

The Yahoo link is dead for this challenge!

Any chance you could supply an alternative?

It's come to my attention that the Yahoo Finance API closed down. Instead, I've updated the original post to use a call to the Google Finance API. The differences between the APIs are minimal and you can expect one less field from the Google API.

Get back to it @LordNeilLord!

Nice and straight forward approach :)

Thanks for updating the link @JoeM

Great challenge, I hadn't yet had an opportunity to use the download tool. Thanks!
