GovTrack opens up information on US legislature

07-24-2008 01:00 PM
Since 2004, GovTrack.us has housed information about the United States Congress, including 10 years of bills, voting records, and contact information for individual members of Congress. Visitors can also find out who represents them and search the database for committee assignments, legislative statistics, and the Congressional Record, which is the official record of daily proceedings in Congress. All the code that makes GovTrack run is open source, and all the information stored there is freely available to everyone.

Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA(3pm) 			User Contributed Perl Documentation			   Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA(3pm)

NAME
Finance::Quote::Yahoo::USA - Obtain information about stocks and funds in the USA and Canada. SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote; $q = Finance::Quote->new; %info = $q->fetch("usa","SGI"); DESCRIPTION
This method provides access to financial information from a number of exhcanges in the United States and Canada. The following methods are available: canada usa yahoo nyse nasdaq vanguard fidelity These methods all use the same information source, and hence can be considered somewhat interchangable. However, the method "yahoo" should be passed to fetch if you wish to obtain information from any source that Yahoo tracks. This method is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, although it can be explicitly loaded by passing the argument "Yahoo::USA" to Finance::Quote->new(). Information returned by this module may be subject to Yahoo's terms and conditions. See http://finance.yahoo.com/ for more information. LABELS RETURNED
This module returns all the standard labels that Yahoo provides, as well as the currency label. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more information. BUGS
Yahoo does not make a distinction between the various exchanges in the United States and Canada. For example, it is possible to request a stock using the "NYSE" method and still obtain data even if that stock does not exist on the NYSE but exists on a different exchange. SEE ALSO
