💖 Finance::Quote::mstaruk — the tea on UK Unit Trust quotes 🎀

okay bestie, sit down, we're talking about Finance::Quote::mstaruk (manual page Financ...MStaruk(3pm), if you're being formal about it). She's a Perl module, she pulls quotes from morningstar.co.uk, and she's honestly kinda iconic for it. Let's get into it 💅

✨ NAME ✨

Finance::Quote::mstaruk — grab UK Unit Trust quotes from morningstar.co.uk. that's the whole job description, no notes 💖

---

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("mstaruk","<isin> ...");  # Only query morningstar.co.uk using ISINs
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("ukfunds","<isin> ...");  # Failover to other sources

look at that. two whole vibes. pick your fighter ⭐

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

so this module goes and fetches info from the MorningStar Funds service, http://morningstar.com/uk/. and there are SO many UK Unit Trusts and OEICs quoted over there, plus a whole crowd of Offshore Funds and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) too. it's giving crowded. it's giving thriving.

here's the cute part: anything quoted in GBX (pence) gets converted to GBP, and she does it by dividing the price by 100 in the process. math but make it slay 🔥

funds are identified by their ISIN code. that's the whole key. iykyk 🔑

this module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object — she's a default girlie, she comes pre-installed in the vibe. but if you wanna load her explicitly, just drop "mstaruk" into the argument list you pass to Finance::Quote->new(). your call, both work 🫶

heads up bestie: information obtained by this module may be covered by funds.ft.com terms and conditions. check http://morningstar.co.uk for the deets. read the fine print, it's giving responsible 💀

👑 Stocks And Indices 👑

this module serves up both the "mstaruk" and "ukfunds" fetch methods, for pulling UK and Offshore Unit Trusts and OEICs prices plus other info from funds.ft.com.

so which one do you pick? listen:

• use the "ukfunds" fetch method if you want failover with future sources for UK and Offshore Unit Trusts and OEICs. the author has plans to develop Finance::Quote modules for other sources providing unit trust prices — so this one's got ✨future✨ energy.
• use the "mstaruk" method if you want a guarantee that your info comes only from the morningstar.co.uk website. no side quests, no surprises, just her.

periodt. pick based on how much loyalty you're feeling 💅
