Requirements

• DMS ≥ 1.2.0
• curl installed and available in $PATH
• Internet access

Data Providers

Currently supported providers:

• Yahoo Finance — The current default. No credentials required. Example symbols: EURUSD=X, BZ=F, HG=F, DX-Y.NYB, ^GSPC.

• Stooq — Currently disabled, due to unstable API. Publishes CSV quotes for a wide range of instruments.

  Limitation: Some Stooq symbols (usually futures that has symbols of *.f format) shown on the website do not return CSV data through the public API. If a symbol stays empty in the widget, open Stooq in your browser and try the cash/index variant shown there (i.e. symbols of *.i or *.c format).

Privacy

• No endpoints are contacted other than the one related to the configured provider.
• Provider credentials, if any, are obfuscated and stored locally on your disk.
• Stooq is operated from Poland and is presumably GDPR-compliant. See their Privacy & Cookie Policy and Terms of Service.
• Yahoo's Privacy Policy, Yahoo Finance privacy practices, and Terms of Service.

Version History

• v1.0.3 :
  • Stooq changed their API yet again, and broken data fetching.
  • Added Yahoo Finance provider as a, probably less privacy respecting, but working alternative for Stooq.
  • Disabled Stooq in till they stabilize their API.
  • If you previously configured Stooq symbols, delete them and re-add the same markets using another provider. Provider symbols can differ, so use the symbol search link in settings to find the correct Yahoo Finance symbol.
• v1.0.2 :
  • Now Stooq requires API key to provide historic data, updated backend and widget settings to support API key.
  • In-settings search for symbols is removed due to unreliability, replaced with a button to open provider's symbols search web page.
• v1.0.1 (Not published to DMS, due to changes from Stooq provider):
  • Fixed the issue with charts for previously working symbols, are not displayed (Unfortunately, Stooq now requires using cookies).
  • Added logging capability.
  • Refactoring.
• v1.0.0 :
  • Initial version.
