frossm / quoter Goto Github PK

symbol is always invalid. Index throws errors.

It would be great to have a flag that disables the fetching and display of the index quotes.

The requests to CNBC tend to timeout sporadically.

I received the following message from IEX concerning my free account. If you are using Quoter you probably have received the same thing. On June 15th, Quoter will stop working for quotes (although the index will continue to function.) I'll need to find a replacement.

This is very disappointing....

Important Updates to Your IEX Cloud Plan

Thank you for being a loyal IEX Cloud customer. Your trust and satisfaction mean a lot to us, and we hope you’ve been successful in using our data.

I am writing to let you know that we will be retiring plans that provide free access to financial data, effective June 15, 2023.

As a one-time offer to our customers on Start plans, you may upgrade from your Start plan to a monthly subscription at a price of $19/month. With this new plan, you will continue to have access to the same financial data you have today. Go to your console to upgrade.

If you do not take any action to upgrade your account, you will lose access to IEX financial data on June 15, 2023.

If you have questions about this change, please contact IEX Cloud Support.

Hello Quoters,

As of 2/22/2024 there is an issue with the open/closed state. This is larger than a simply display issue as there are different xPaths to the data depending if the market is open or closed. So while this label is incorrect, the index data may not be valid.

Another oddity is that it seems to start working after the market has been open for an hour or so. Strange.

I'll work on getting this fixed, but it will probably be early next week since I need it to be broken in order to troubleshoot the issue. I'll update this issue here as progress is made.

For SNAP installation, the update should automagically be installed. For those running directly from the JAR file, you'll need to download a new one.

Kind regards,

Michael

PS: I would suggest trying to stay up to date on query.jar given that a change on the financial institution's website could break quoter until I update it. I'm scraping the data from the webpages.

Not sure how important this is or even if it's secure if I don't ask the user for a password.
