We will be in touch
any one know one?
anyone??
Not that I know. Surely you can look at the company's website?
Not off hand as never thought I'd want to know - why do you want to know?
Well you can find them on the info for each share page on the yahoo share price info
You can try the Liffe Euronext website and have a look for the financial calendar - I think they provide a csv download, I know it has company announcements, earnings etc but not sure about ex-div dates. At work we get exchange announcements via email but then we're members and not sure whether these come free...
TBH - for reliable info you'd probably have to dig into your pocket - we pay bloomberg and Markit for our data. Not cheap.
The FT website, company research section lists the ex dividend date for each company. You will have to go through each company one at a time though.
cheers, looks like theres a gap in the market, if only I was a coder 💡

not really - exchanges and 3rd party data providers have it sewn up pretty tight. You can get all this readily from bloomberg etc but you have to pay through the nose for it (like 5 figure sums per index / exchange)...
Edit: you can get some data free but it can be pretty limited - [url= http://uk.reuters.com/business/markets/dividends ]for example 7 days of forthcoming dividend data from Reuters here[/url]

Why would you want to do that? It is normally the other way round to convert income into capital.
Also share price generally falls by the value of dividend when shares go XD. So you end up just getting some of your money returned back to you.
