• Laeeth Isharc (17/17) Dec 10 2014 Embarassingly trivial, and I don't claim it is well-written. But
• Gary Willoughby (7/24) Dec 11 2014 Interesting. Why not also add it to the dub registry?
• Laeeth Isharc (5/36) Dec 11 2014 Thanks for the suggestion. I hope to do so when a bit more time

Quandl is "The largest, most usable collection of free open data 
in the world".

They offer a bunch of predominantly financial and economic data 
from different sources for free (with a pretty generous API 
allowance) and plan to earn a buck down the line selling 
commercial data and being a platform for distribution.  Given the 
situation with Bloomberg (the banks are not terribly happy 
following the JPM whale/Bloomberg journalism revelations) and 
structural change in the market for data, this is an intriguing 
platform.

In any case, I ported the sample C++ API to D, which was more a 
question of deleting redundant lines and using std.net.curl then 
anything else.  Perhaps someone will find it useful.

Interesting. Why not also add it to the dub registry?

Thanks for the suggestion.  I hope to do so when a bit more time 
(I am still not yet that comfortable with dub myself).
