I found this, looks like they have a deal with another vendor (Xignite) for some information http://reference.wolfram.com/mathematica/note/FinancialDataSourceInformation.html For the record, the Financial data functionality is one of my most loved (and hated) features. It's one of the best things going compared to other environments to have a common interface natural to the language to get the data for analysis. Perhaps a wrapper function to allow you to specify a secondary source would help alleviate these issues? Basically, same function, but with a try/catch in the middle. If both bomb, well, a bad day I guess. Nonetheless, this should come out of the box in my mind. Cheers, t.
