💅 NAME

Finance::Quote::MorningstarCH — the glow-up module that pulls CH Unit Trust quotes straight from morningstar.ch. It's Finance::Quote but make it Swiss. 🇨🇭✨

So real quick, lowkey housekeeping: this page lives in the perl manual, section 3pm (that's "Perl module docs," iykyk) — that's the tiny header thing at the top of every manpage. Anyway. The actual content? Slay. Let's go. 💖

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

$q = Finance::Quote->new;

%info = $q->fetch("morningstarch","<isin> ...");  # Only query morningstar.ch using ISINs

Periodt. That's it. You make a Finance::Quote object, you hand it some ISINs, you get info back. The comment is doing the heavy lifting there and honestly it ate. 🔥

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so here's the tea: this module fetches information from the MorningStar Funds service, over at https://morningstar.com/ch/. That's the vibe. 🌈

Funds are identified by their ISIN code — like that's their whole personality, their government name, their main character identifier. 👑

And here's the cute part: this module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. No extra steps, she just shows up ready to work. 🫶 But if you're the type who needs to be explicit (respect), it's also possible to load it explicitly by placing "morningstarch" in the argument list to Finance::Quote->new().

Heads up bestie 🫣 — information obtained by this module may be covered by Morningstar terms and conditions. See https://morningstar.ch/ for details. Not me being the responsible friend, but like… read them. 💀

📈 Stocks And Indices

This module provides the "morningstarch" fetch method for fetching CH Unit Trusts and OEICs prices and other information from morningstar.ch. That's the whole method. She's a specialist, not a generalist. Iconic behaviour honestly. 💅

🎀 LABELS RETURNED 🎀

The following labels may be returned by Finance::Quote::MorningstarCH:

name, currency, last, date, time, price, nav, source, method,
iso_date, net, p_change, success, errormsg.

That's fourteen little data girlies right there, all showing up to the group chat with their own thing going on. ✨ Let's appreciate them individually for a sec:

  • name — what the fund is actually called 🏷️
  • currency — the money vibe 💸
  • last — last value, as one does
  • date — the day 🌸
  • time — the time, clock behaviour ⏰
  • price — the price, no cap
  • nav — net asset value, the fancy one 🧚
  • source — where it came from (spoiler: morningstar.ch) 🌍
  • method — how it got fetched
  • iso_date — same date energy, but ISO-formatted, international icon 🌈
  • net — net, as in the net one
  • p_change — percent change, the drama metric 📉📈
  • success — did it work? the vibe check ✅
  • errormsg — and if it didn't, here's the explanation 😭
