Their user agreement does not forbid auto retrival of quotes. http://www.nse-india.com/disclaimer.htm I am using it for a legitimate purpose. Thanks Uday	[reply]

This is not an issue where Perl is of relevance. You are violating the web sites terms of use. They block you. It does not matter whether you claim you have a "legitimate purpose", and Perl does not come into it. Talk to them, most likely you can pay for better access to their data.	[reply]

That's a disclaimer, not a user agreement!! Maybe they do not mind interactive use but do not want scripts hitting it. That's their call to make, just like they can cut you off if they want to. I think Corion has called this one correctly. Elda Taluta; Sarks Sark; Ark Arks	[reply]

Agreed. However there is no user registration required with this site and hence I guess no user agreement. I will continue by modifying my scripts till they specify somewhere that such a use is not acceptable. Sorry for such an attitude but I do want my scripts to do their works automatically without me being their data entry operator. Thanks Uday	[reply]
