Financ...XCloud(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

Finance::Quote::IEXClound — bestie, this is the lil module that goes and gets quotes from https://iexcloud.io 💖

(it's IEXClound with an L, no we are not fixing it, it's iconic, we respect the typo 🫶)

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

okay so here's the vibe, literally copy-paste energy:

use Finance::Quote;

$q = Finance::Quote->new('IEXCloud', iexcloud => {API_KEY => 'your-iexcloud-api-key'});

%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("IBM", "AAPL");

that's it. that's the whole thing. slay 💅

---

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

so basically this module fetches info from https://iexcloud.io. that's the whole job. that's what it does. iconic behavior honestly ✨

here's the tea tho: this module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. like, it just shows up. no invitation needed, it's giving main character energy 👑

but ALSO — if you're the type who likes to be explicit (valid, we love a planner), you can load it yourself by dropping "IEXCloud" into the argument list of Finance::Quote->new(). either way bestie, you're covered 🫶

and this module provides the "iexcloud" fetch method. that's the one you call. periodt. 🔥

🔑 API_KEY 🔑

okay so https://iexcloud.io is not just gonna hand you data for free like a random. nope. you gotta register and get yourself an API key — which, fun fact, also gets called a token. same thing, two names, very Gemini of it 💀

that token might have a prefix string on the front, like 'pk_', and then after that it's just a big ol' sequence of random digits. very mysterious. very ✨enigmatic✨.

now, how do you actually set this key? two options, choose your fighter:

• hand Finance::Quote a module-specific hash when you call Finance::Quote->new — literally exactly like the example up in the SYNOPSIS, go look, it's right there 👀
• or set the environment variable IEXCLOUD_API_KEY and let the vibes carry you 🌈

either one works. pick the one that sparks joy 💖
