Finance...e::XETRA(3)

💸 Finance::Quote::xetra (that's the Finance...e::XETRA(3) page bestie, welcome) 🎀

okay so real talk, this is the Finance::Quote::xetra manual page and it's literally your cheat code for pulling stock quotes off the S-Investor platform. let's get into it ✨

✨ NAME ✨

Finance::Quote::xetra — Obtain quotes from S-Investor platform. that's it, that's the whole vibe 💅

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

here's the whole thing, copy-paste ready, no cap:

use Finance::Quote;

$q = Finance::Quote->new;
or
$q = Finance::Quote->new('XETRA', 'xetra' => {INST_ID => 'your institute id'});

%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("xetra", "DE000ENAG999");  # Only query xetra
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("europe", "brd");     # Failover to other sources OK.

see those two fetch lines? one is strictly xetra-only energy (# Only query xetra), and the other is like "try europe and if it flops we failover to other sources, it's fine, we're fine" (# Failover to other sources OK.). iconic behavior tbh 🦋

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

so this module fetches info from https://s-investor.de/ — that's the investment platform of the German Sparkasse banking group, iykyk. and where does it get the actual share prices? from XETRA, a major German trading platform. and here's the gag: the prices on XETRA serve as the basis for calculating the DAX and other stock market indices. like, main character energy much? 👑

it's suitable for shares and ETFs that are traded in Germany. 🇩🇪

this module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object (no extra work, slay). but it's also possible to load it explicitly by placing "XETRA" in the argument list to Finance::Quote->new(). your choice bestie, both work 🫶

this module provides "xetra" and "europe" fetch methods. two methods, double the fun 💜

heads up: information obtained by this module may be covered by s-investor.de terms and conditions. read those, they're not a vibe to ignore 🙈

---

🎀 INST_ID 🎀

https://s-investor.de/ supports different institute IDs, so there's like a whole roster of them. the default value "0000057" is used (Krefeld) if no institute ID is provided. a list of institute IDs is provided here:

https://web.s-investor.de/app/webauswahl.jsp

the INST_ID may be set by providing a module specific hash to Finance::Quote->new as in the above example (optional). optional! so don't stress if you don't have one, the default's got you ⭐

🌈 LABELS RETURNED 🌈

these are the labels you get back, all of them, no skipping:

currency exchange last method success symbol volume price close change p_change

collect them all like little trading cards fr fr 🍓

ngl that's the whole page. short, sweet, and it just works 💅
