Finance::Quote::Yahoo:User(Contributed Perl DocumFinance::Quote::Yahoo::USA(3)NAMEFinance::Quote::Yahoo::USA - Obtain information about stocks and funds
in the USA and Canada.
SYNOPSIS
use Finance::Quote;
$q = Finance::Quote->new;
%info = $q->fetch("usa","SGI");
DESCRIPTION
This method provides access to financial information from a number of
exhcanges in the United States and Canada. The following methods are
available:
canada
usa
yahoo
nyse
nasdaq
vanguard
fidelity
These methods all use the same information source, and hence can be
considered somewhat interchangable. However, the method "yahoo" should
be passed to fetch if you wish to obtain information from any source
that Yahoo tracks.
This method is loaded by default by Finance::Quote, although it can be
explicitly loaded by passing the argument "Yahoo::USA" to
Finance::Quote->new().
Information returned by this module may be subject to Yahoo's terms and
conditions. See http://finance.yahoo.com/ for more information.
LABELS RETURNED
This module returns all the standard labels that Yahoo provides, as
well as the currency label. See Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Base for more
information.
BUGS
Yahoo does not make a distinction between the various exchanges in the
United States and Canada. For example, it is possible to request a
stock using the "NYSE" method and still obtain data even if that stock
does not exist on the NYSE but exists on a different exchange.
