MarketBeat

Market Beat is a Ruby library that fetches stock quotes and other financial and market indicators from publicly available sources. Currently Google and Yahoo market reporting services are supported.

Installation

# Installing as Ruby gem
$ gem install market_beat

# Cloning the repository
$ git clone git://github.com/michaeldv/market_beat.git

Usage

Require "market_beat" gem, then invoke one of the MarketBeat's methods passing stock symbol as a parameter. Stock symbols are case insensitive and could be passed as a symbol or a string.

For example, to fetch today's opening price and the very latest trade price for the Apple stock (NASDAQ symbol 'AAPL') use the following:

>> require "market_beat"
>> MarketBeat.opening_price :AAPL
"396.69"
>> MarketBeat.last_trade_real_time :AAPL
"397.07"

Some methods return multiple values:

>> MarketBeat.change_and_percent_change :IBM
["-5.77", "-3.08%"]
>> MarketBeat.last_trade_with_time :IBM
["4:02pm", "181.47"]

Fetching historical quotes returns array of hashes where each hash represents stock data for a given date:

>> MarketBeat.quotes(:AAPL, "2011-12-21", "2011-12-22")
[{:date=>#<Date: 2011-12-22 (4911835/2,0,2299161)>, :open=>"397.00",
:high=>"399.13", :low=>"396.10", :close=>"398.55", :volume=>"7227016"},
{:date=>#<Date: 2011-12-21 (4911833/2,0,2299161)>, :open=>"396.69",
:high=>"397.30", :low=>"392.01", :close=>"396.44", :volume=>"9390954"}]
