The Autodownload task is supported for all Captools/net versions.  This function retrieves pricing, distributions (dividends and splits) and fundamental information for all securities contained in the Captools/net Security Id records excepting those for which downloading have been explicitly disabled.  The custom settings for this function appear as follows:

 

 

Because not all data types are supported by all data services, and because some services have restrictions on who may use them, we have chosen to support downloading of data from multiple services, which may later include other services in addition to or instead of those shown above.  You may change data services used from the default settings via the above form, however you can only designate one service for each type of data.   If a particular security requires download from a different service, you may so designate it in the Override Quote Service field for that security in the Security Id record.

 

 

Disclaimer

 

Unless otherwise specifically noted, Captools Company is neither the originator of downloaded data nor a conduit of downloaded data. It is your responsibility to ensure that you are eligible for that data under the terms and conditions of the data provider you select and your responsibility to review the data for accuracy for your particular data needs.  From time to time, data providers may, at their discretion, change the scope of available data as well as the data format.  This can cause interruption in data availability.  In these instances, Captools Company will endeavor to the best of its ability to make available software updates to licensees which will restore data download capability. However, we cannot guarantee that data download capability can always be restored to previous functionality, or that the terms or cost of such downloads or alternative downloads will be equal to or better than what was previously supported.

 

Captools/net users should also note that some download sources may restrict use of such data for non-professional and/or non-commercial use only.  Prior to using a download source you should review the source website terms to ensure that you qualify.  If you do not qualify, you should rely upon other data sources such as imports of custodian data, or download data from a source with less restrictive terms (typically a paid data source) .
