Re^2: Finance::Quote returns nothing and no error

Hi Athanasius, I tried running your code on windows 7 enterprise (64 bit) but its not able to get the data. Please see below the output.

C:\strawberryPerl\scripts>perl getStockPrice2.pl
getquote ERROR: No information returned for symbol GOOGL from usa at g
+etStockPri
ce2.pl line 24.

Here is the code (same as yours)

use strict;
use warnings;
use Finance::Quote;

getquote('googl', '20140822');
my $s;
sub getquote
{
    my ($sym, $qdate) = @_;
        $sym          = uc($sym);
    my  $quote        = Finance::Quote->new;
    my  @exchanges    = sort($quote->sources);

    $quote->timeout(60);
    $quote->require_labels(qw/price date high low volume/);
    $quote->set_currency('USD');

    my $exch = 'usa';
    my %info = $quote->fetch($exch, $sym, 'A', 'MSFT');

    if (!%info)
    {
        $s = "getquote ERROR: No information returned for symbol $sym 
+from $exch";
        warn $s;
        return;
    }

    my $dt = $info{$sym, 'date'};
    print "Price of $sym is " . $info{$sym, 'price'} . ' for ' . $dt .
+ "\n"; # DEBUG
}

Looks like the API was terminated last year. Also see Finance::YahooQuote which now says NOTE: As of November 2017, the module is no longer all that useful as Yahoo! decided to halt the API service it relies on. Some info is available using yahoo_json if you have a recent version of Finance::Quote `use strict; use warnings; use Finance::Quote; use Data::Dumper; printf "Version : %s\n", $Finance::Quote::VERSION; my $q = Finance::Quote->new(); $q->timeout(60); $q->set_currency("USD"); my $stock = 'googl'; my $info = $q->fetch("yahoo_json",$stock); print Dumper $info; printf "Latest price for %s is %s", $info->{$stock,'name'},$info->{$st +ock,'last'};` [download] poj	[reply] [d/l]
