title: yahoo finance quotes API and historical data API
body: <p>The <strong>yahoo finance quotes API</strong>(<a href="http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv">http://download.finance.yahoo.com/d/quotes.csv</a>?) provides access to a number of features associated with a company for the current year</p>
  
  <pre><code>(Sector Price   
  Dividend Yield  
  Price/Earnings  
  Earnings/Share  
  Book Value  
  52 week low 
  52 week high    
  Market Cap  
  EBITDA  
  Price/Sales 
  Price/Book).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The yahoo finance historicaldata api (<a href="http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv">http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv</a>?) provides only the following information for a company for a period specificed (start YYMMDD, end YYMMDD)</p>
  
  <pre><code>&gt;      "Open": "15.32",
  &gt;      "High": "15.35",
  &gt;      "Low": "15.13",
  &gt;      "Close": "15.24",
  &gt;      "Volume": "20126900",
  &gt;      "Adj_Close": "15.24"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How can I get historical data for  Dividend Yield,Price/Earnings, Earnings/Share associated with a company? (because right now I can only get information related to the current year using the finance.quotes API and I cannot get historical data associated with these features)  </p>
