Finance...ote::ASX(3)

✨ NAME ✨

Finance::Quote::ASX β€” the module that pulls quotes straight from the Australian Stock Exchange, bestie πŸ’– (it's User Contributed Perl Documentation, in case you were wondering where it came from πŸŽ€)


🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;
%stockinfo = $q->fetch("asx","BHP");       # Only query ASX.
%stockinfo = $q->fetch("australia","BHP"); # Failover to other sources OK.

okay so literally two vibes to pick from: the loyal-to-one-source "asx" girlie, or the "australia" girlie who's open to backup plans 🫢


πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

This module gets its info from the Australian Stock Exchange, http://www.asx.com.au/ β€” iconic. Data for all Australian listed securities and indices is available, no cap πŸ¦‹

Indexes start with the letter 'X'. For example, the All Ordinaries is "XAO". But heads up: some securities also start with the letter 'X', so don't get it twisted πŸ™ˆ

This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object, slay. It's also possible to load it explicitly by placing "ASX" in the argument list to Finance::Quote->new() πŸ’–

This module provides both the "asx" and "australia" fetch methods. Please use the "australia" fetch method if you wish to have failover with other sources for Australian stocks (such as Yahoo) β€” that's the whole reason it exists, iykyk. Using the "asx" method will guarantee that your information only comes from the Australian Stock Exchange. Main character energy, zero distractions πŸ’…

Information returned by this module is governed by the Australian Stock Exchange's terms and conditions. fr fr, read the fine print πŸ“œ

πŸ‘‘ LABELS RETURNED πŸ‘‘

The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::ASX: bid, offer, open, high, low, last, net, p_change, volume, and price. Obsessed with this lineup honestly πŸ“
