This announcement by Martin made me look again into bean-price (at the
moment I'm using horrible hand-written scrapers for my bank websites).

What I'd be interested in is (1) a service that allow to fetch prices
based on ISINs (as in:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Securities_Identification_Number
) and (2) a bean-price data source for it.

(2) would be trivial to add, but I haven't found a solution for (1) yet.
It seems that neither Google Finance nor Yahoo Finance offer that
service, although I found that very surprising.

Does anyone know of a (free) service allowing to lookup current prices
by ISIN?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers
