Good find. There is no API for Yahoo, it's strictly parsing a delimited stream. I think the Yahoo plugin could be extended to also download the dividend stream. Take a look at the source, you'll see it's pretty simple.

I notice that for the MSFT example you mention above the web page provides a separate radial button for dividends only. This allows manual download of dividend only data into a csv. Does yahoo provide this information as separate data for the symbol when accessing it through their api? If yes, this would avoid having to parse html.
Thanks, Duane

I do not see a Samples folder...I'm using RE 2 but did install RE 1. Under Yye Software, there are 2 folders, one for each edition. Under each edition, there is a Force32bit, Plugins, and resources folder. Is there another main folder that it should be located under? I did a reinstall of RE 2 but it did not show up. Also I did a search of my drives for HistoricalDataRetrieval but it did not locate the class file. Is there something else that I need to download or install?
Thanks, Duane

There should be a link on the Start Page. Click that and see if that gets you there.
If you didn't install the full version (full version is the default), you may not have samples. You can do a "Change" from Add/Remove programs.

Got it...located under AppData\Roaming\Yye Software\RightEdge\2008.2.0.0\Samples\C#\HistoricalDataRetrieval. I was looking under Program Files\Yye Software. Not sure why it did not show up under search...may be a setting that I missed.
Thanks, Duane
