TOS or these Terms of Use;

No gambling, porn, goods made from protected animals, cigarettes, fireworks, explosives, hazardous materials, prescription drugs, non-packaged food, non-transferable items or using on sites promoting illegal activity or material (like cable descramblers), nor anything in the other equally long Yahoo Terms of Service.

(iii) sell, lease, or sublicense the Yahoo! Finance Modules or access thereto or derive income from the use or provision of the Yahoo! Finance Modules, whether for direct commercial or monetary gain or otherwise, without Yahoo!’s prior, express, written permission; or

No charging others for access to use the Yahoo Finance badges.

(iv) use the Yahoo! Finance Modules in a manner that exceeds reasonable request volume, constitutes excessive or abusive usage, or otherwise fails to comply or is inconsistent with the Yahoo! Finance Module documentation, as determined by Yahoo! in its sole discretion.

No high traffic websites. Unfortunately in all those words they don’t actually define how much traffic “exceeds reasonable request.”

(v) sell, rent, assign, lease, transfer, reproduce, perform, modify, translate, allow third party access to, unbundle, make derivative works of, make improvements of, or distribute any code included as part of the Yahoo! Finance Modules or any of its components or any content contained therein, including, without limitation advertisements or search links that may be included in the Yahoo! Finance Modules. In addition, You will not change, alter, revise, decompile, disassemble, reverse-assemble or otherwise reverse engineer the Yahoo! Finance Modules or any portion of the Yahoo! Finance Modules for any purpose.

No hacking/modding the Yahoo Finance code. Hope me placing the “align” tag in the IFRAME code isn’t breaking this rule.

Other notes/restrictions
- maximum of 3 stocks for multiple view (GYM shown above), 10 stocks for single view
- multiple size options for badges: small (160 pixel width, white background only), medium (200 px), large (250 px) and extra large (300 px)
- multiple time ranges for stock chart: 1 day, 5 days, 3 months, 6 months (shown), 1 year, 2 years, 5 years or max years

Note that the last six months doesn’t make Google stock look as stellar as the previous six month period. Microsoft and Yahoo both took dips.

Disclaimer: As of this writing I own GOOG and YHOO stock.

Did this post make you go hmm?
