- url: The URL to retrieve the value at using tokens as described on the Dow Jones Industrial Average page to show where to place the year/month/day/etc.

- updateSource: The hostname from which the source retrieves it's DJI value (eg: finanace.google.com)
- updateFrequency: The frequency with which the host is updated.
- serverLocation: Where (geographically) the server is located.
- accessRestrictions: Public? Ask first? Limit to queries? Put it in in plain english.

Example
| xkcd.nucleardog.com | |
| Date Range: | 1970-01-02 - present |
| Update Source: | finance.google.com |
| Update Frequency: | hour |
| Server Location: | Texas, United States |
| Contact: | NuclearDog |
The source can be accessed at:
http://xkcd.nucleardog.com/getdow.php?year=%Y&month=%m&day=%d
- Leading zeros are not significant in year, month and day values. If you request a date which has no value it will return the string 'null'. If you would like to avoid it returning 'null' when requesting days such as weekends, you may pass the GET variable 'compensate' with any value, which will cause it to work backwards from any non-existent days until it finds one with a value and return that instead.
- Access Restrictions: Free for anyone to use up to a reasonable volume. If you need to make tens of thousands of requests daily, feel free to contact me and I'll send you a dump of the database and the update script.
