API, Gadgets, and Tabs, oh my!
October 24th, 2007 | Published in Google Finance
Today, we're excited to release a Google Finance tab on iGoogle. This tab is a dashboard of financial gadgets which enables you to add, customize and share your Google Finance experience. But here's what's extra cool about these gadgets -- they now have communication skills and can "talk" or "sync" with each other.
As part of this release, we're introducing a bunch of new gadgets, including:
- Top Movers
- SnapQuote
- Related companies
- Company overview
- MiniChart
- Company Sector
Ready to see this tab in action?
But wait, there's more! If you're a developer, we just made it easier for you to make a stock market gadget with our new API. The gadget API for market data provides a framework so developers can display stock market information from the American, Nasdaq and New York stock exchanges within a gadget on Google properties. Unfortunately, due to data licensing restrictions, we couldn't open this API for display on any platform. However, we believe this is a great start in providing easier access to stock market information and hope you have fun with it.
