Thanks Thiyagarajan.

I’ve also just finished a Beta version of a gem called GMoney. This gem wraps the google finance API and allows you to use simple Ruby code to interact with Google Finance. If you are interested you can check out the documentation at:

Hello Aashish,
Download the code using this link:
http://www.justinspradlin.com/downloads/rubyfinance.zip

Go to line 99, put in your Google username and password. If you do not have a google account you will need to create one (https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount)

Open a command line and go to the directory where you extracted the code and run:
ruby rubyfinance.rb

I just tried it and it worked perfectly for me.

If you are still having issues you can read the documentation from google:
http://code.google.com/apis/finance/developers_guide_protocol.html

in the ‘create_portfolio(authorization_token, portfolio_name)’ method
AT THE LINE
response = http.post(path, atom_string, headers)
I am not getting response.code=201 so it is returning error

How do I solve it.

Hey aashish,
What error are you getting?

If you are just trying to read items from your portfolio you can use the GMoney gem I created (http://github.com/jspradlin/gmoney)

Just gem install gmoney

I’m working on a version that allows you to create, update, and delete portfolios as we speak, but I don’t have an estimate as to when it will be done.

Hi James,
I am in the process of creating a Ruby Gem for the google finance services. Be sure to keep track of my github account over the next month or so: http://github.com/jspradlin

Hey, Just wondering how I would get this to work. I am pretty clueless about coding but would like to get this installed on my website. It uses cpanel and the applications Ruby Gems and Ruby on Rails are installed. What do I do?

Thanks every so much in advance
regards
