[dev] Text stream services?

Hi,

Reading documentation for GNU gawkinet, I found interesting examples
of publicly available data that can be retrieved in simple text format,
one with stock market numbers and other with protein databases.

(If you're interested, check for STOXPRED and PROTBASE at this
documentation link.)

   http://www.gnu.org/software/gawk/manual/gawkinet/html_node/Some-Applications-and-Techniques.html

I wonder if there are other services providing information in a format
that's easy for script processing. Maybe: weather information, econometric
data, GIS data etc. Do you know of any?

Thanks for your toughts. Best,

Maurício
