YQL feed for stock data has been retired. Need to find a new API to use. Considering google: google.igoogle.stock

Looks like google may also be shuttered: http://googlecode.blogspot.com/2011/05/spring-cleaning-for-some-of-our-apis.html

I think I may be able to use a query like this: SELECT * FROM data.html.cssselect WHERE url='http://finance.yahoo.com/quotes/YHOO,TSLA' AND css='.yfi-quotes-table tbody'

But it gives a whole lot of markup structure that I cannot omit - otherwise, I'll lose the relationship between each data component.

This will also require parsing JSON that is tightly coupled to the markup on the page - so if it's changed, the controller will also need to be updated.

Right now, I'm not seeing any better means to freely grab live stock data.

This'll work for now.
