I hope you can work things out, soon. Thank you Rahul, for your dedication and courtesy here. As others have said, I think it is more a matter of server load than

If the sites were to provide alternate access mechanisms and APIs, we would use them immediately. In general, we hate asking for credentials but it is the only way to deliver the service that we offer. Our approach is fairly common in other industries - millions of users put their bank/credit card logins into sites like mint.com and yodlee.com. I think that ultimately, it's not really about who is a '3rd party' or who isn't, but rather it's about who you trust. And trust takes time to earn. Having said that, we really appreciate your trust and support - it means a lot to us and we take our responsibility to keep your data secure and private very seriously indeed.

Tailored API feeds seem a better way forward. I'd be happy to remove my account details if another way of stock site access could be granted here at lookstat.
