title: Google Stocks API
body: <p>I'm developing a bot, and I want to use the Google's Stock's API shown here:</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://jarloo.com/tutorials/google-stock-api/" rel="nofollow">http://jarloo.com/tutorials/google-stock-api/</a></p>
  
  <p>The only problem is, It was a feature request from someone else and I don't know a lot about stocks.  I see that it is 'undocumented', but does anything have an links to information that I can get what each of the tags from the return is?  A Sample return for yahoo is below.</p>
