Title: Price updates currently on the blink
Post by: Patrick on May 31, 2013, 11:50:10 am: Dear all,

Please note that the JSE price listing is currently down, so the leaderboard isn't updating at the moment. :wall:

Hopefully it'll be back before the next deposit arrives tomorrow, but until it's back purchases will be disabled.

Post by: Patrick on May 31, 2013, 12:13:14 pm: Oh, and if anyone knows of another page listing all the JSE prices please let me know. I wouldn't mind a backup for the JSE listings.

Haha! Seeing as I really hold a fair amount of CML I wouldn't min that sort of control ;D

JSE is still down. If I was the IT manager there the web team would have a lot to answer to, and wouldn't be leaving the office this weekend until it was fixed :wtf:

Post by: Patrick on June 01, 2013, 02:46:22 pm: Price link still down, so nobody is going to get to spend their money yet!

I've updated the prices once off, but it's not something I can do in an automated way just yet, so I'm still relying on the JSE fixing their system. Looking at the drop in net worth on the leaderboard yesterday must have been a bloodbath for some of us!

Post by: Patrick on June 03, 2013, 08:50:48 am: Well after working all of Sunday I woke up to the nice surprise that the feed is down again. I'll give it a while, but if there's still nothing running by tomorrow I'll have to look at another source of data. :wall:

Post by: Patrick on June 03, 2013, 01:34:47 pm: Ok, we're back for now. I had to get most of the data from reuters, with a few shares from bloomberg. hopefully they don't mind too much. I'll switch back to the JSE when it eventually comes back online.

Post by: gcr on August 05, 2013, 09:50:10 am: Patrick - what time delay are you working on in terms of share prices 5 minutes, 15minutes ??
Title: Re: Price updates currently on the blink
Post by: Patrick on August 05, 2013, 10:19:41 am: It depends on a number of things. If the JSE link works then it's a minimum of 15 minutes and a maximum of 25 minutes. I haven't tested the backup link but it'll be a minimum of 15 minutes again.

The JSE link is notoriously unreliable (seems down again today, just switched to backup), but to get more frequent and reliable data you have to pay huge sums of money.

My backup link is very reliable, but far more resource intensive, so I prefer not to leave it running.
