Save Output to String
=====================

Example:

Get Stock Data From Yahoo
=========================

Example:

.. code-block:: ring

	Load "libcurl.ring"

	### Part 1 --- Get Crumb and Cookie -----------------------------------------

	See "Start curl_easy_init(): "+ nl
	curl = curl_easy_init()                     ### >>> HANDLE >>> 01006BD0  CURL  0

		curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1)
		curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEJAR,  "cookies.txt")
		curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_COOKIEFILE, "cookies.txt")
		curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AMZN/history")

		###  HTML Data >>> STDOUT Window,  Use curl_easy_perform_silent >>> String

	cOutput = curl_easy_perform_silent(curl)    ### GO Get Data >>> String


	###   Extract Crumb from data
	###  "CrumbStore":{"crumb":"abcdefghijk"},

	if cOutput != NULL

		newStr1     = substr(cOutput, substr(cOutput, '"CrumbStore":{"crumb":"' ), 48 )
			nPosS   = substr(newStr1, ':"' ) ;  ### Start of crumb -2
			nPosE   = substr(newStr1, '"}' ) ;  ### End   of crumb
			nCount  = nPosE - nPosS -2          ### size  of crumb
		myCrumb     = substr(newStr1, nPosS +2, nCount)

		See "myCrumb.: |"+ myCrumb +"|" +nl
		
		### UniCode "\u002F" replace it with "/"
			if substr( myCrumb, "\u002F")
			   myCrumb = substr( myCrumb, "\u002F", "/")
			   See "myCrumb2: |"+ myCrumb +"|"+ nl
			ok

	else
		See "No Connectivity to Yahoo. Looking for Cookie and Crumb." +nl +nl
	ok

					
	### Part 2 --- Send URL with Crumb, and Cookie -----------------------------------------

		### Send URL+Crumb to Yahoo to fetch 1st stock history data,

		$url = "https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/AMZN?period1=1277856000&period2=1498777545&interval=1wk&events=history&crumb=" + myCrumb

		curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
		cStr = curl_easy_perform_silent(curl)
		See cStr 

	curl_easy_cleanup(curl)  ### REMEMBER to CLOSE  CURL   


Output:
