December 11, 2014 Quandl API ported to D | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
| ||||
Embarassingly trivial, and I don't claim it is well-written. But perhaps it will save somebody a few minutes. Quandl is "The largest, most usable collection of free open data in the world". They offer a bunch of predominantly financial and economic data from different sources for free (with a pretty generous API allowance) and plan to earn a buck down the line selling commercial data and being a platform for distribution. Given the situation with Bloomberg (the banks are not terribly happy following the JPM whale/Bloomberg journalism revelations) and structural change in the market for data, this is an intriguing platform. In any case, I ported the sample C++ API to D, which was more a question of deleting redundant lines and using std.net.curl then anything else. Perhaps someone will find it useful. https://github.com/Laeeth/d-quandl Laeeth. |

Why not also add it to the dub registry? http://code.dlang.org/ You can find more information here: http://code.dlang.org/about and more about the package format here: http://code.dlang.org/package-format |

Thanks for the suggestion. I hope to do so when a bit more time (I am still not yet that comfortable with dub myself).
Laeeth.
