I'm trying to use the function below (source) to avoid using importxml in Google Sheets:
function importRegex(url, regex_string) {
var html, content = '';
var response = UrlFetchApp.fetch(url);
if (response) {
html = response.getContentText();
if (html.length && regex_string.length) {
var regex = new RegExp( regex_string, "i" );
content = html.match(regex)[1];
}
}
Utilities.sleep(1000);
return content;
}
I want to extract stock prices and day change from Yahoo Finance, for example from: https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/, but I can't get the regex_string right. I have tried several strings but none seens to work. Some one can help me please?
=importRegex("https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TSLA/", "<span class=""Trsdu(0.3s) Fw(b) Fz(36px) Mb(-4px) D(ib)"" data-reactid=""32"">(.*)</span>")
