I am using the website [login to view URL] to obtain stock tick data
Here is what I have done....
1. Log into the free demo account and look at the charts for various stocks... [login to view URL]
2. Switch the resolution to "tick"
3. Use Firebug, Fiddler. Chrome web developer tools etc, I find the URL, "GetChartDataTickImm"
However, the response is not clear-text dates, times, and prices....
Instead, it is something like this....
HrCy/h6wsw4esLL+HrCzDh6wsw4esLMOHrCzDh6wsu4esLLeHrCy7h6wsu4esLL+HrCy7h6wst4esLLeHrCy
My paid job for you is... examine the site, and find out how to decode this into dates, times and prices
It should look something like this....
Dec 22 2014, 13:30:45 -- $100.45
Dec 22 2014, 13:30:46 -- $100.47
Dec 22 2014, 13:30:47 -- $100.50
We know that the site's web-based app decodes it into a graph with labels.... so, I suspect, somewhere in the Javascript is the decoder....
... but my Javascript skills aren't good enough... so I need your help
Thanks
Hi,
I have gone through the website and found that it makes Ajax calls to the server every second to get the price. I can automate this using a script and can extract the details you need.
I have extracted the data for couple of minutes and I can send you that if you could reply to this message.
Thanks
Hi there,
I just created a demo account on plus500 so I could check this out for you.
I think you're probably having trouble because the dates and prices are not only base64 encoded, but they are stored as binary.
I have the code ready to go for decoding this. I've pasted a small sample of the result below. This was for the oil chart earlier today:

I can provide you the code immediately if you select my bid.
Thanks!
