How can I download a list of splits for a list of symbols? I am thinking of a downloader like the one we have for historical dividend data.
Thanks!

Thanks, Patrick. I have been playing with this downloader and noticed two anomalies that I would like to raise to you:
1. I noticed that some stocks are not shown in the data. For example, EFTC split on June 2, 2010, but the downloader does not show that split. I went back to the Yahoo page and it is also not showing there.
2. In some cases, a split is listed twice in the downloader. For example, ABC was split in 2009. The downloader shows two dates (29/05/2009 and 16/06/2009), with the same announced date of 19-May.

Do you know why these are happening and how to fix them?

Thanks!

Hi,

1. If it is not showing in Yahoo then the downloader cannot get it (Data if from Yahoo).

2. This is also because Yahoo show them twice

I updated the script so that it takes only the first split. You must download the script again.
