Requirements

• Free Stooq API key (see below how to obtain it).

Data Providers

Currently supported only one provider: Stooq that publishes free CSV quotes for a wide range of instruments. A free API key is required.

Getting a Free Stooq API Key

1. Open stooq.com/q/d/?s=eurusd&get_apikey in your browser.
2. Enter the captcha code shown on the page.
3. Copy the CSV download link shown at the bottom of the page (it contains your API key value).
4. Paste the link in some text editor, and copy the last part of the link after apikey=, and paste it in the plugin Settings before adding symbols.

Limitation: Stooq does not provide historical data for futures symbols (tickers matching *.f) through its public API. Price data will load, but charts will be unavailable for these symbols.

Privacy

• No endpoints are contacted other than the configured data provider.
• All requests are made without cookies to minimize tracking potential. (However, see Version History)
• Stooq is operated from Poland and is presumably GDPR-compliant. See their Privacy & Cookie Policy and Terms of Service.
• The API key is obfuscated and stored locally on your disk.

Version History

• v1.0.2 :
  • Now Stooq requires API key to provide historic data, updated backend and widget settings to support API key.

  • Fixed the issue with charts for previously working symbols, are not displayed (Unfortunately, Stooq now requires using cookies).
