I'm looking for access to financial data from Google services.

I found this URL that gets the stock data for Microsoft.

What are all the possible parameters that Google allows for this kind of HTTP request? I'd like to see all the different information that I could get.

The Google Finance Gadget API has been officially deprecated since October 2012, but as of April 2014, it's still active:

http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=NASDAQ:GOOG
http://www.google.com/finance/info?q=CURRENCY:GBPUSD
http://finance.google.com/finance/info?client=ig&q=AAPL,YHOO

You can also get charts: https://www.google.com/finance/getchart?q=YELP

Note that if your application is for public consumption, using the Google Finance API is against Google's terms of service.

Check google-finance-get-stock-quote-realtime for the complete code in python
