I am using yahoo website for download stock market historical data for private use. I am doing it from this url: [login to view URL] When pressing DOWNLOAD DATA I can get csv file - and it's great. The problem is how to do it for about 500 stocks. It's impossible to use WGET with the DOWNLOAD DATA URL, because it's blocked with header and cookie. I would like to have WGET script or php code that can do, just to have short cut and not using 500 times the DOWNLOAD DATA BUTTON.

Hello sir. This could be done also with google chrome extension - with a given instrument's shortcuts list (TPR,ABC, etc...) I can make extension which would download this via chrome (after visiting and setting one instrument) and there should not be any problem with headers and CORS, since you are on the same website - i have checked this while ago. (I am also trader, fx almost only:-) Thanks if you interested and have a great day!

I know when we use wget to download data , servers first check whether the request is coming from a real browser or by some program/coding. so we can not use wget here , but we can use selenium for web browser automation. With this automatically we can start browser chrome/firefox or any other and navigate to url , click buttons and fill forms and all other things. I can do this task. i will give u seleinium code if u want else i will download all data and send to you. There is another to do this task also. As i am new and this does not need too much effort i have placed 5$ only. Give me a chance.I will complete this in less than 6 hours Msg me any time if u want to clarify any thing
