New Module Request - Warsaw Stock Exchange (GPW) - From rt.cpan.org about finance-quote HOT 8 OPEN

I see, the currency 'PLN' is hardcoded in the module. I believe the author used it only for local, Polish securities.
Unfortunately Stooq.pl doesn't provide currency in the response. Example:
"CDR,20220928,170433,103,106.5,100.7,105.76,833851,"
which is:
Name,Trade Date,Trade Time,Open,Max,Min,Price,Volume,Unknown
I asked Stooq.pl via e-mail about this aspect.

All other modules always provide the currency of a security on request? I mean, is it obligatory? Or is it possible to just request the numbers?

I'm only a hobby-programmer and I don't know Perl (but that's not the first unknown language I'm contributing to, so maybe I'll manage to). I'm in contact with stooq.pl, they've already answered me but requested more details before they give information.

The primary "user" of F::Q is GnuCash, and it requires that F::Q return a currency with the quote.

They answered that currently there's no API that gives back the currency 😢 And they didn't say anything about whether they want to implement that or not 🤷

Nevertheless, I updated the module (as it was a dozen years old) and uploaded it to a newly created repo https://github.com/Kaligula0/Stooq-for-Finance-Quote – just in case someone would like to test it / use it / take care of it / get things done.

Actually data shown from a URI such as https://stooq.com/q/?s=ena does have the currency.
<a href=[t/?i=60](https://stooq.com/t/?i=60)>zł</a>

Yes. The website shows everything. But the price is not included in the API response.
That would require web-scraping. Is that efficient?

A number of the F::Q modules extract pricing data using web scraping.
