Looking to consume services out there with Nigeria-specific information. Would be interested in getting info on services offered by media houses in Nigeria, as well as governmental institutions. Any one have a list of favorite and reliable services? Please share.


Will be greatly appreciated!

Dis ur grammar e too plenti o mr man - talk am for pidgin na? na rss u dey find or na media website?
Make u talk am for language wey boys fit understand na?

Are majority rss feeds? If so, sure. Looking for information on available services out that ( rss included) that I can get data on Nigeria from.

I am looking for ATOM publishing services or RSS services out there that I can pull Nigeria-specific Data from. Any sort of data.

Now you are talking. U need to reduce your english to contemporary english wey common man like me fit understand nah!
I will some of my guys wey be rss specialists later on but from what i have heard - they are not much.

I don't think companies in nigeria have advanced to that level.

I have data on Nigerian listed companies, check http://www.adten.net/Stock/index.aspx

I may release as web service for consumers if there is good justification.

You can YM me on abidemi _adio@yahoo.com. I am mostly online from 8.00pm - 2.00am Naija time

If that site currently gets data from some sort of service, please, I would like to get the information on how to consume the same feed. is the data not coming from a feed as it is?

Don't think? Well, your thoughts are certainly not right because it doesn't take anything to turn data into web services that can be consumed by third parties.

Demand for products and  services(Business)  drive technology and this accounts for the reason why most of these
technologies are not currently being implemented by businesses in Nigeria. if the demands are high, the knowledge to
to handle such things are locally available.

Web services, atom feeds and Restful services can be implemented to provide any form of information, we have started work on
this for some thing now.

We have built a service point for daily stock market prices and are talking to some financial publishers to expose some of their data.

What started as a personal project  now  a company, to service enable business information, we hosted the beta at www.ngdataonline.com but have a company domain  at www.complustech.net, will be moving the solution to the domain.

you can request any service and we will do our best to talk to the providers and enable them as a service, we also help business integrate such services in their application.

You can send your request to
ihesiepeter@complustech.net or ihesiepeter@yahoo.com

Yes true but i was looking at this from the consumption angle.

I am yet to find a single feed to date. Sure it is easy to turn stream data via a webservice for many out there?

maybe this is because there are no consumers, or potential consumers are not sofisticated enough or they lack the awareness of the usefulness of webservices. There has to be demand before there can be supply

Uumm, so the company will continue to wait to be contacted by potential consumers, before it decides on marketing a product or providing a service? Ofource there are consumers out there. Most every other Nigerian site has a stocks ticker, for instance.

Check http://s15328835.onlinehome-server.i n f o/dailyPriceList.aspx for NSE daily price RSS Feeds

ok apart from stock market data what other types of data can be fed to consumers in Nigeria by webservice.

Any Wsdls for the provided feeds?

Well, after reading this post i did a little search on feeds from any of our sites[Nigeria]. Some of the sites that i discovered 
had implemented feeds on their sites include
http://234next.com/
http://www.vanguardngr.com/?option=com_kusoma&id=1.
thisday newspaper have areas on their site where there feeds. Detailed research will reveal more as my search is still on-going.

I have used some of these feeds in our new product that provides realtime  and end of day business and financial
information.
Currencies realtime values, oil and gas, metal prices, world indices and lots more,sure you can take  look at the free demo version
at www.finance.complustech.net

About the wsdl that the last poster talked about, this solution is built on one and we will be making that better and release it to the public.
thanks
