✨ NAME ✨

Finance::Quote::StockData β€” literally obtains quotes from StockData.org πŸ¦‹

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

           use Finance::Quote;

           $q = Finance::Quote->new('StockData',
               stockdata => {API_KEY => 'your-stockdata-api-token'});

           %info = $q->fetch('stockdata', 'AAPL');  # Only query foobar

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

πŸ’… DESCRIPTION πŸ’…

This module fetches information from https://www.stockdata.org/ 🌈.

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

This module provides "stockdata", "nyse", and "nasdaq" fetch methods πŸ”₯. Currently, stock quote data is only available for securities traded on the US markets.

Heads up, bestie: information obtained by this module may be covered by New York Exchange terms and conditions πŸ‘‘.

πŸ”‘ API_KEY πŸ”‘

https://www.stockdata.org/ requires users to register and obtain an API key, which is also called a token 😭. The token is a sequence of random characters.

The API key may be set by either providing a module specific hash to Finance::Quote->new as in the above example, or by setting the environment variable STOCKDATA_API_KEY. No cap 🫢.
