Finance...oogleWeb(3)

🌸 NAME 🌸

Finance::Quote::GoogleWeb β€” Obtain quotes from Google Finance Web Pages. That's the whole NAME section, bestie, and hiii β€” this is Finance...oogleWeb(3), the User Contributed Perl Documentation page for it. We're gonna make it make sense, no cap. 🫢


✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

okay so the whole ritual is literally this:

use Finance::Quote;

$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%info = $q->fetch("googleweb", "aapl");  # Only query googleweb

%info = $q->fetch("nyse", "ge");     # Failover to other sources OK.

The first fetch is the β€œonly query googleweb” vibe β€” the comment says # Only query googleweb and it means it. The second one is the β€œfailover to other sources is OK” vibe, and the comment says # Failover to other sources OK. fr fr. πŸ”₯


πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

This module fetches information from <https://www.google.com/finance/>. Lowkey iconic source, ngl.

It's loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object β€” it's giving default-loaded main character energy. You can also load it explicitly by placing "googleweb" in the argument list to Finance::Quote->new(). πŸ’…

This module provides "googleweb", "bats", "nyse", and "nasdaq" fetch methods. That's the whole method lineup, periodt.


πŸŽ€ LABELS RETURNED πŸŽ€

The labels that come back are these, bestie:

  • name
  • symbol
  • last
  • date
  • currency
  • method

That list ate, and there are no extras or mystery boxes. πŸŽ€


🌈 AVAILABLE EXCHANGES 🌈
