Quick method of retrieving YIELD information
Posted: February 10th, 2023, 8:46 am
With the ongoing issues with the Sharecast Forecast Yield information sometimes hampering the HYPTUSS automatic yield-scrape process, users might be looking to carry out a manual update of their income-investment yields to keep up to date with their expected individual holding or overall portfolio income.
For anyone interested in carrying out this exercise, I've devised a simple method to get all three yield sections of the Dividend Data site (FTSE 100 / FTSE 250 / Investment Trusts) onto a single browser page, that can then be used to text-search on, using individual holding EPIC codes, to then quickly enable a manual yield-update of each HYPTUSS holding to take place -
1. Open a new blank file in NOTEPAD, or other similar text editor
2. Copy the following bold text into the text-editor window -
<!DOCTYPE html>
<HTML>
<FRAMESET cols="33%,33%,33%">
<FRAME src="https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/dividendyield.py?market=ftse100">
<FRAME src="https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/dividendyield.py?market=ftse250">
<FRAME src="https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/investment-trust-dividend-yields.py">
</FRAMESET>
</HTML>
3. SAVE the text file locally with a HTML file extension, for example as YIELDS.HTML
4. Double-click on the locally-saved HTML file, and the three separate Dividend Data yield-pages should then open up into three separate vertical frames within a single browser tab -
Source - https://www.dividenddata.co.uk/dividendyield.py?market=ftse100
5. This single-tab, multi-frame browser page that then opens, similar to the above screenshot, can be quickly searched using your individual income-investment EPIC codes or company-names, and the browser search function will treat all three frame areas as a single searchable page, thus enabling rapid manual-gathering of holding yield information to then enable entering into your HYPTUSS portfolio page, whilst we're waiting on Sharecast to fix their Forecast Yield data...
