Luminal Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well, I've been programming in OOP (C++) for about 6 months, yet this problem has never come up, and I have no idea how to begin dealing with it. I'm attempting to write a program that can take information from a website, in this case a stock site, and input that data into my program. I need it to constantly update (request new information from the site). Is there a normal method/procedure for doing this? A link or tutorial would be fine, as well (I could not find what I was specifically looking for). I've reached an impasse the last week with this, and help of any kind would be limitlessly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klaynos Posted March 10, 2008 Share Posted March 10, 2008 Well, I think the easiest option might be making http requests and then dealing with the reply... Unless the site in question has rss feeds or other data feeds that could easily be used.... http://elcel.com/docs/opentop/API/ot/web/HttpRequest.html Might be a good place to start...

bascule Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yes, find an HTTP client library, or if you're in a Unix environment configure your program to accept data via standard input from curl or wget Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
