Ruby/Finance Description

Ruby/Finance allows access to changing financial data, such as currency conversion rates and stock quotes. Ruby/Finance allows access to changing financial data, such as stock quotes and currency conversion rates.For the foreseeable future, it is intended to be a port of Perl's Finance::Quote module.Examples:Currency conversion require 'finance/currency' Display the US Dollar ($) to Euro () conversion rate. puts Finance::Currency::convert( 'EUR', 'USD' ) Display the British Pounds Sterling () to Icelandic Kronur conversion rate for the amount of 32.50. puts Finance::Currency::convert( 'ISK', 'GBP', 32.50 ) Stock quotes require 'finance/quote' q = Finance::Quote.new Answers will be given in the native currency of the exchange on which they are listed. q = Finance::Quote.new( 'EUR' ) Answers will be given in Euros. q.currency = 'VND' Switch to using Vietnamese Dong. info = q.fetch( 'usa', 'CRM' ) Fetch a single quote, namely CRM. info = q.fetch( :usa, 'EBAY', 'AMZN' ) Fetch EBAY and AMZN. Note that a Symbol can be used instead of a String for the exchange name. info = q.fetch( 'usa', %w ) An Array of ticker symbols is OK, too. puts info A block can be passed, too: q.fetch( :usa, 'RHAT' ) { |info| puts info } You can also bypass #fetch and call the exchange as a method: q.usa( 'RHAT' ) { |info| puts info }Installation:Minero Aoki's setup.rb script is included. Extensive documentation for this script can be found at the end of this document.Basically, however, the following should be enough to install the package: $ ruby setup.rb config $ ruby setup.rb setup # ruby setup.rb install ("#" line may require root privilege)
