XML Usage

To retrieve stock prices from our database in XML format, post a HTTP request as follows:

http://www.webtrade.net.au/servlet/ASXData?clientid=ClientId&ReqId=RequestId&format=xml

The XML response contains (ContentType = text/xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webtrade ReqId="ReqId">
  <Price>
    REPEAT:
    <Stock></Stock>
    <Value></Value>
    <Change></Change>
  </Price>
</webtrade>
eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webtrade ReqId="subscr2">
  <Price>
    <Stock>CBA</Stock>
    <Value>31.56</Value>
    <Change>-0.48</Change>
    <Stock>XAO</Stock>
    <Value>2993.7</Value>
    <Change>10.5</Change>
  </Price>
</webtrade>

Error messages can occur anywhere in the XML response, for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<webtrade ReqId="xyz">
  <Price>
    <ErrorMsg>Stock code ERGX not found in database</ErrorMsg>
    <Stock>XAO</Stock>
    <Value>2993.7</Value>
    <Change>10.5</Change>
  </Price>
</webtrade>

Stock price after market has closed will be the last trade price of the day. Change is the difference between the last trade price and the close price.

TEXT Usage

To retrieve stock prices from our database in TEXT format, post a HTTP request as follows:

http://www.webtrade.net.au/servlet/ASXData?clientid=ClientId&reqid=RequestId&format=text

The TEXT response contains (ContentType = text/plain):

stock/index code, value, change_since_close
eg.  BHP,9.85,-0.12 or ERG,0.175,+0.21

Error messages can occur anywhere in the TEXT response, for example:

BHP,9.85,-0.12
Error: Stock code NCPX not found in database
ERG,0.175,+0.21

Stock price after market has closed will be the last trade price of the day. Change is the difference between the last trade price and the close price.
