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.

Interesting. Why not also add it to the dub registry?

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).
