stock screener API java

[thosecars82]

Hello
I would like to know whether there is any JAVA API available to use in a java client application. This API should include stock screener functionalities like those available at either Google or Yahoo

Do you know whether there is anything like that?
Thanks

What, exactly, are you trying to get from the Java API? Your question is amazingly vague, could you be more specific? Is there some kind of desired effect you're trying to produce with Java?

Sorry.
I would like to be able to use a financial stock screener like those available in either Google or Yahoo (sorry but it seems I am not allowed to posts links here, I hope you understand what I mean with stock screener) from a java client application. Therefore I am looking for some JAVA API provided by either Google or Yahoo or... which might implement typical stock screener functionalities.

You're looking for some API that has an automatic Stock Screener widget you can plug-in to your application? I'm afraid there's probably no such widget, however there is nothing preventing you from coding such an application. The first thing your app would need to have is a source to get it's information from, an example of which would be Google or Yahoo! finance. You can, for example, download the Java based Google Finance API which will allow your application to get up-to-date information on the different stock exchanges at the time, and you could then design your application around that information to filter through the results as you need. It's up to you to code everything after you've gotten the information, but what you ask for is not impossible.
