BASH script for displaying historical daily stock prices. References the Yahoo Finance API.
I use this to pipe output into spark, eg.
> stockprice.sh -s AAPL -d 10 -q | tail -r | spark
> ▅█▆▆▂▃▂▂▁▁
>
Usage:
> stockprice.sh [-s SYMBOL -d DAYS [-q]]
$symbol (required) is the stock ticker symbol of the company you want to track
$days_to_read is the number of days of data you want to read out of the file. Defaults to 1.
-q Will run in "quiet" mode, which returns only the closing stock prices for each day, omitting date and headers.
