on 5.1 I cannot update stock prices anymore from financial times and I do not know how to fix the filter.

I have following settings:

url:http://funds.ft.com/uk/Tearsheet/Summary?s=%1
identifiy by identification number.
Price Price\D+([\d,]*\d+\.\d+)
Date Data delayed at least 15 minutes, as of\ (.*)\.
Date format: %m %d %y

If I replace %1 for example with AINV, and paste to browser I get right information, but when i try to update I get following error (with every security).

Fetching URL http://funds.ft.com/uk/Tearsheet/Summary?s=AINV...
Identifier found: ''
Unable to update price for AINV (no price or no date)

So I assume something wrong with Date or time formats but I am not familiar with parameters here so I cannot fix filter.

Any help?

With copy/paste url and identifier i get .

Price (USD)9.20Today's Change-0.55 / -5.64%Shares traded148.70k1 Year change-42.89%Beta1.8655

Data delayed at least 15 minutes, as of Aug 07 2020 14:34 BST.

I only get information in the browser when I use https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/te ... s=AINV:NSQ as URL. Also, they might have changed the way the price is presented on the web-site. I see

Code: Select all

Price (USD)</span><span class="mod-ui-data-list__value">9.06</span>

but that does not match the existing RegEx. Probably needs some adjustment. Welcome to the world of web-scraping.

I suspect that the time (14:34 BST.) might be the issue (not sure) but i do not know if it can be added somehow to Date format...

Hello,

For equities, here is what I have (I have had to change it recently)

URL: https://markets.ft.com/data/equities/te ... summary?s=%1
Identify by: Identification number
Price: Price\D+([\d,]*\d+\.\d+)
Date: Data delayed at least (15|20) minutes, as of\ (.*)\.
Date format: %m %d %y
Skip html stripping: Ticked

I have noted that the delay time in not the same for all equities (it looks like it is 20 mns for UK shares), hence the (15|20).

In the case in this discussion, identification number will be the AINV:NSQ and this works for me for this particular example.
