I use Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa Cinnamon and Firefox 51.
How do I get Firefox to reveal the http query string sent to Google Stock Screener?
Whenever I use it, the URL is just
https://www.google.co.uk/finance#stockscreener plus usually some sort of random string which may be a session identifier.
But on the internet I have discovered this url:
https://www.google.com/url?q=http://...mS4FU9uLbAlitQ
which does appear to be a query string. The link is much longer than it appears on this page - the bulk of it is ".....stockscreener%23c0%3DMarketCap%26min0%3D7221%26max0%3D401440000000%26c1%3DPE%26min1%3D0.17%26m ax1%3D10.21%26c2%3DDividendYield%26min2%3D0%26max2%3D499%26c3%3DPrice52WeekPercChange%26min3%3D-99.91%26max3%3D-53.62%26c4%3DTotalDebtToAssetsYear%26min4%3D0%26max4%3D0%26c5%3DNetIncomeGrowthRate5Years%26min5%3D0 %26max5%3D377%26c6%3DQuoteLast%26min6%3D0%26max6%3D86112%26region%3Dus%26sector%3DAllSectors%26sort% 3D%26sortOrder%3D&sa=D&ust=1486377790063000&usg=AFQjCNHMS3_VqMic3HobmS4FU9uLbAlitQ".
Please note that the parameters of that query string are different from what I use.
I would like to copy my query string so that I can have the same parameters for the stock screener already set up the next time I use it, instead of having to set them up from scratch again every time.
I have tried all the ways I can think of to save the parameters, but nothing works. I have tried saving the url, saving a bookmark, saving the page, saving a session with the Session Manager, but they all merely give the default settings when I try to use them again.
Another approach would be to synthesise a query string, but I have not been able to find out what the various parts of the query string relate to and what the choices are.
Thanks.
