NAME¶
Finance::Quote::citywire - Obtain UK Unit Trust quotes from morningstar.co.uk.
SYNOPSIS¶
$q = Finance::Quote->new;
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("citywire","<isin> ..."); # Only query morningstar.co.uk using ISINs
%info = Finance::Quote->fetch("ukfunds","<isin>|<sedol>|<mexid> ..."); # Failover to other sources
DESCRIPTION¶
This module fetches information from the Citywire Funds service,
http://citywire.co.uk. There are many UK Unit Trusts and OEICs quoted, as well
as many Offshore Funds and Exhange Traded Funds (ETFs). It converts any funds
quoted in GBX (pence) to GBP, dividing the price by 100 in the process.
Funds are identified by their ISIN code.
This module is loaded by default on a Finance::Quote object. It's also possible
to load it explicity by placing "citywire" in the argument list to
Finance::Quote->
new().
Information obtained by this module may be covered by citywire.co.uk terms and
conditions See
http://citywire.co.uk for details.
Stocks And Indices¶
This module provides both the "citywire" and "ukfunds" fetch
methods for fetching UK and Offshore Unit Trusts and OEICs prices and other
information from funds.ft.com. Please use the "ukfunds" fetch method
if you wish to have failover with future sources for UK and Offshore Unit
Trusts and OEICs - the author has plans to develop Finance::Quote modules for
other sources providing uk unit trust prices. Using the "citywire"
method will guarantee that your information only comes from the citywire.co.uk
website.
