Thank You for replying so quickly.

There are three parts to this email.

Yes you can get free realtime, but only at the actual
website...http://finance.yahoo.com/

The link below goes to the sign up for a free trial.

http://billing.finance.yahoo.com/realtime_quotes/signup?.src=quote&.refer=ffmrq

The link below is the Realtime Login

http://edit.yahoo.com/config?u?.intl=us&.done=http%3A%2F%
2Fbilling.finance.yahoo.com%2Frealtime_quotes%2Fsignup%3F.src%3Dquote%
26.refer%3Dffmrq&.bail=http%3A%2F%2Ffinance.yahoo.com%2F%3Fu&.last=http%
3A%2F%2Fbilling.finance.yahoo.com%2Frealtime_quotes%2Fsignup%3F.src%
3Dquote%26.refer%3Dffmrq

Look like there is a referrer string, and a broken link bialout string

The string below get you to the same place.

https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify2?u?.intl=us&.done=http%3A%2F
%2Fbilling.finance.yahoo.com%2Frealtime_quotes

All the way back to

https://login.yahoo.com/config/login_verify

The Login form looks like this

There is a '.challenge' HIDDEN field var wonder if yahoo would have an
API for there realtime for just such a purpose??

It would help them sell more subscriptions.

I went diging around and found these links

News about Yahoo expanding there API/Developer relationship
http://developers.slashdot.org/developers/06/08/09/158210.shtml

Yahoo Python developer Network
http://developer.yahoo.com/python/

And here is one of there tutorials with Python examples of some data
transferring, and authentication.
http://developer.yahoo.com/python/python-rest.html

I would signup for the account and could paste some internal URL's.

Though it look as if there will be modifying there API shortly.
http://www.webpronews.com/topnews/topnews/wpn-60-20060810YahooRedirectsWebmasterQueries.html

There explanation is here
http://developer.yahoo.com/search/siteexplorer/

On another note, I was wondering about storing the streaming data onto
the server so that your pattern scanner, which I really like, could do
more advanced calculations...are there any indicators that you know of
that you can't do right now because of internet bandwidth limitations??

I know that floating point is pretty big with some financial
datacenters.  

On an extreme note, I have been following the Streamcomputing news as of
late:Using GPU(Graphics Cards) as GPGPU(General Purpose GPU
programming).
http://www.gpgpu.org/

ATi(Just Recently acquired by AMD), and everybody else says that there
new stuff can really help Financial Centers with forecasting.

Announcement here about using there Graphics Cards As Floating Point
Monsters(350-500Gigaflops on one 1900XTX+ $450 card)
http://www.pcper.com/article.php?aid=305

And some docks here.
http://www.ati.com/developer/techreports/2006/I3D2006/Peercy-Performance-Oriented_Data_Parallel_Virtual_Machine_for_GPUs(SIG06_Sketch).pdf

And More detail here
http://www.ati.com/developer/siggraph06/dpvm_e.pdf

And a quick presentation here
http://www.ati.com/developer/siggraph06/dpvm_sketch_siggraph.pdf

Peakstream has tools that can compile code to use the GPU effortlessly
http://www.peakstreaminc.com/

If this sounds possible, I would help as much as possibly with some
purchasing.

Just wondering.

I don't know to much about programming, but if there is some way I could
help, I will.

Thank You
