Please forgive the novice-ness of this question if this is in fact a novice question, and maybe if it doesn't exist it could one day, but thank you for your time already. I'm just trying to learn how to access dynamic data for my website.
If these (command line accessible) services do exist, which I imagine is doubtful, I am looking for dynamic (externally stored) Finance & Economic data providers.
EDIT: Ah! Great. - I run both mac osx lion and windows vista on separate computers. I like ruby on rails, and the startup I'm working with uses php so that's OK too. Other than that as far as verification processes go, honestly, I'm not that far yet. The data I'll be trying to access at first will likely be open source (free for academic purposes, etc) and come from Google or Bloomberg Open if that helps. Thanks already though - Ruby on Rails runs extremely slow on Windows so I'll be using Mac for the most part.
EDIT: Are there any IDE's (or IDE plugins) which have the capability to do what Alexei is describing?
EDIT: I'll probably be trying to access Google Docs via a REST API for my starter app. But am still interested in trying to access it and any other REST source via the command line and/or an IDE!
