RSS Examples

The Finance Data feed is very similar to a feed of Asset - Text items, however the body content contains a variety of data such as:

  • Text explaining a change, e.g. FTSE or other indexes closing up or down
  • A short HTML snippet explaining a change, e.g. Foriegn Exchange of the pound
  • A html table of share changes

This is by no means an exhaustive list but a small taster of the content to expect. Please browse the feed yourself to see what is available.
