+# OpenData Project Hints
+
+## Stocks Module
+
+### Overview
+The stocks module provides real-time stock price data through various provider implementations. Currently supports Yahoo Finance with an extensible architecture for additional providers.
+
+### Architecture
+- **Provider Pattern**: Each stock data source implements the `IStockProvider` interface
+- **Service Registry**: `StockPriceService` manages providers with priority-based selection
+- **Caching**: Built-in cache with configurable TTL to reduce API calls
+- **Fallback Logic**: Automatic failover between providers if one fails
+
+### Yahoo Finance Provider Notes
+- Uses public API endpoints (no authentication required)
+- Two main endpoints:
+  - `/v8/finance/chart/{ticker}` - Single ticker with full data
+  - `/v8/finance/spark?symbols={tickers}` - Multiple tickers with basic data
+- Response data is in `response.body` when using smartrequest
+- Requires User-Agent header to avoid rate limiting
+
+### Usage Example
+```typescript
+import { StockPriceService, YahooFinanceProvider } from '@fin.cx/opendata';
+
+const stockService = new StockPriceService({ ttl: 60000 });
+const yahooProvider = new YahooFinanceProvider();
+stockService.register(yahooProvider);
+
+const price = await stockService.getPrice({ ticker: 'AAPL' });
+console.log(`${price.ticker}: $${price.price}`);
+```
+
+### Testing
+- Tests use real API calls (be mindful of rate limits)
+- Mock invalid ticker 'INVALID_TICKER_XYZ' for error testing
+- Clear cache between tests to ensure fresh data
+- The spark endpoint may return fewer results than requested
+
+### Future Providers
+To add a new provider:
+1. Create `ts/stocks/providers/provider.{name}.ts`
+2. Implement the `IStockProvider` interface
+3. Register with `StockPriceService`
+4. No changes needed to existing code

+# or
 yarn add @fin.cx/opendata
 ```
 
-## Usage
+## Quick Start
 
-The `@fin.cx/opendata` package provides a comprehensive set of functionalities for handling open business data, focusing on German business data. Let's explore the detailed capabilities of this library through extensive examples and instructions.
+### 📈 Real-Time Stock Data
 
-### Setting Up the Environment
+Get live market data in seconds:
 
-First, make sure you've set up the necessary environment variables for MongoDB. You will need the following environment variables:
-- `MONGODB_URL`: The URL for your MongoDB instance.
-- `MONGODB_NAME`: The name of the database to use.
-- `MONGODB_USER`: A valid username for accessing the database.
-- `MONGODB_PASS`: The password associated with the MongoDB user.
+```typescript
+import { StockPriceService, YahooFinanceProvider } from '@fin.cx/opendata';
 
-These variables can be configured in a `.env` file or managed through a specific service used for secure environment variables handling.
+// Initialize the service
+const stockService = new StockPriceService();
+stockService.register(new YahooFinanceProvider());
 
-### Importing and Initializing the Library
+// Get single stock price
+const apple = await stockService.getPrice({ ticker: 'AAPL' });
+console.log(`Apple: $${apple.price} (${apple.changePercent.toFixed(2)}%)`);
 
-To start working with the library, import the necessary classes and initialize the `OpenData` class.
+// Get multiple prices at once
+const prices = await stockService.getPrices({ 
+  tickers: ['AAPL', 'MSFT', 'GOOGL', 'BTC-USD', 'ETH-USD'] 
+});
+
+// Market indices, crypto, forex, commodities - all supported!
+const marketData = await stockService.getPrices({
+  tickers: ['^GSPC', '^DJI', 'BTC-USD', 'EURUSD=X', 'GC=F']
+});
+```
+
+### 🏢 German Business Data

+Access comprehensive data on German companies:
 
 ```typescript
 import { OpenData } from '@fin.cx/opendata';
 
-const initializeOpenData = async () => {
-  const openData = new OpenData();
+const openData = new OpenData();
+await openData.start();
+
+// Create a business record
+const company = new openData.CBusinessRecord();
+company.data = {
+  name: "TechStart GmbH",
+  city: "Berlin",
+  registrationId: "HRB 123456",
+  // ... more fields
+};
+await company.save();
+
+// Search companies by city
+const berlinCompanies = await openData.db
+  .collection('businessrecords')
+  .find({ city: "Berlin" })
+  .toArray();
+
+// Import bulk data from official sources
+await openData.buildInitialDb();
+```

+];
+
+const prices = await stockService.getPrices({ 
+  tickers: indicators.map(i => i.ticker) 
+});
+
+// Display with color-coded changes
+prices.forEach(price => {
+  const indicator = indicators.find(i => i.ticker === price.ticker);
+  const arrow = price.change >= 0 ? '↑' : '↓';
+  const color = price.change >= 0 ? '\x1b[32m' : '\x1b[31m';
+  
+  console.log(
+    `${indicator.name.padEnd(15)} ${price.price.toFixed(2).padStart(10)} ` +
+    `${color}${arrow} ${price.changePercent.toFixed(2)}%\x1b[0m`
+  );
+});
+```
+
+### Handelsregister Integration
+
+Automate German company data retrieval:
+
+```typescript
+// Search for a company
+const results = await openData.handelsregister.searchCompany("Siemens AG");
+
+// Get detailed information and documents
+const details = await openData.handelsregister.getSpecificCompany({
+  court: "Munich",
+  type: "HRB",
+  number: "6684"
+});
+
+// Downloaded files include:
+// - XML data (SI files)
+// - PDF documents (AD files)
+for (const file of details.files) {

+// Find all public German companies (AG)
+const publicCompanies = await openData.db
+  .collection('businessrecords')
+  .find({ legalForm: 'AG' })
+  .toArray();
+
+// Enrich with stock data
+for (const company of publicCompanies) {
   try {
-    await openData.start();
-    console.log('OpenData instance has started successfully.');
+    // Map company to ticker (custom logic needed)
+    const ticker = mapCompanyToTicker(company.data.name);
     
-    // Example usage:
-    await createAndManageBusinessRecords(openData);
-
+    if (ticker) {
+      const stock = await stockService.getPrice({ ticker });
+      
+      // Add financial metrics
+      company.data.stockPrice = stock.price;

+      company.data.priceChange = stock.changePercent;
+      
+      await company.save();
+    }
   } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Error starting OpenData:', error);
-  } finally {
-    await openData.stop();
-    console.log('OpenData instance has stopped.');
+    // Handle missing tickers gracefully
   }
-};
-
-initializeOpenData();
+}
 ```
 
-### Managing Business Records
+## Configuration
 
-The `BusinessRecord` class represents a company's data. Let's explore how you can create, retrieve, update, and manage these records.
-
-#### Creating a New BusinessRecord
-
-Creating a new business record involves instantiating the `BusinessRecord` class and setting the relevant properties.

-    purpose: "Developing innovative tech solutions",
-    lastUpdate: new Date().toISOString()
-  };
-
-  await businessRecord.save();
-  console.log('BusinessRecord saved:', businessRecord);
-};
-```
-
-#### Retrieving Business Records
-
-You can retrieve existing business records by querying the database using various data fields.
-
-```typescript
-const retrieveBusinessRecords = async (openData: OpenData) => {
-  const records = await openData.db
-    .collection<BusinessRecord>('businessrecords')
-    .find({ city: "Munich" })
-    .toArray();
-
-  console.log('Found Business Records:', records);
-};
-```
-
-#### Updating Existing Records
-
-To update an existing `BusinessRecord`, you retrieve the record, modify its data, and save it again.
-
-```typescript
-const updateBusinessRecord = async (openData: OpenData, recordId: string) => {
-  const businessRecord = await openData.CBusinessRecord.getInstance(recordId);
-  if (businessRecord) {
-    businessRecord.data.phone = "+49 89 987654";
-    businessRecord.data.lastUpdate = new Date().toISOString();
-
-    await businessRecord.save();
-    console.log('BusinessRecord updated:', businessRecord);
-  } else {
-    console.log('BusinessRecord not found for id:', recordId);
-  }
-};
-```
-
-#### Deleting a Business Record
-
-You can delete a business record using its unique identifier.
-
-```typescript
-const deleteBusinessRecord = async (openData: OpenData, recordId: string) => {
-  const businessRecord = await openData.CBusinessRecord.getInstance(recordId);
-  if (businessRecord) {
-    await businessRecord.delete();
-    console.log(`BusinessRecord with id ${recordId} deleted successfully.`);
-  } else {
-    console.log('No record found for the provided id:', recordId);
-  }
-};
-```
-
-### Updating German Business Data
-
-The package includes functionalities to keep your business data up-to-date by downloading from official German open data repositories.
-
-```typescript
-const updateGermanBusinessData = async (openData: OpenData) => {
-  try {
-    await openData.germanBusinesses.update();
-    console.log('German business data has been updated successfully.');
-  } catch (error) {
-    console.error('Error updating German business data:', error);
-  }
-};
-```
-
-This function fetches the latest open data regarding German companies, processes it, and updates your local database.
-
-### Detailed Class Insights
-
-#### OpenData Class
-
-The `OpenData` class serves as the core of the library, initializing necessary components and controlling data flows:
-
-- **db**: Represents the connection to your MongoDB database.
-- **germanBusinesses**: An instance handling specific operations related to German business data updates.
-
-```typescript
-class OpenData {
-  db: plugins.smartdata.SmartdataDb;
-  germanBusinesses: GermanBusinessData;
-
-  private serviceQenv = new plugins.qenv.Qenv(paths.packageDir, paths.nogitDir);
-
-  public async start() {
-    // Database initialization logic
-  }
-
-  public async stop() {
-    // Cleanup logic
+  async fetchPrice(request: IStockQuoteRequest): Promise<IStockPrice> {
+    // Your implementation
   }
+  
+  // ... other required methods
 }
+
+stockService.register(new MyCustomProvider());
 ```
 
-#### GermanBusinessData Class
+## Testing
 
-This class deals specifically with German company data — fetching, processing, and updating local databases consistently with official German data sources.
+Run the comprehensive test suite:
 
-```typescript
-class GermanBusinessData {
-  public async start() {
-    await this.update();
-  }
-
-  public async update() {
-    // Logic for updating business data using import streams and parsing JSON lines.
-  }
-}
+```bash
+npm test
 ```
 
-### Ensuring Data Accuracy and Integrity
+View live market data:
 
-When working with business data, ensuring integrity and accuracy is crucial. Each record should be checked for validity before being saved or updated, minimizing inconsistencies. Moreover, robust error handling is essential in every step, from data retrieval to database operations, particularly when dealing with external data sources.
+```bash
+npm test -- --grep "market indicators"
+```
 
-The `@fin.cx/opendata` module provides an extensive toolset for accessing and managing business data, particularly for companies based in Germany. Its functionalities include creating, updating, retrieving, and deleting business records, as well as keeping them current with the latest open data releases. This makes it an invaluable asset for developers aiming to integrate open data seamlessly into their systems, ensuring robust data management capabilities within their applications.

+# Stock Prices Module Implementation Plan
+
+Command to reread guidelines: Read /home/philkunz/.claude/CLAUDE.md
+
+## Overview
+Implementation of a stocks module for fetching current stock prices using various APIs. The architecture will support multiple providers, but we'll start with implementing only Yahoo Finance API. The design will make it easy to add additional providers (Alpha Vantage, IEX Cloud, etc.) in the future without changing the core architecture.
+
+## Phase 1: Yahoo Finance Implementation
+
+### 1.1 Research & Documentation
+- [ ] Research Yahoo Finance API endpoints (no official API, using public endpoints)
+- [ ] Document available data fields and formats
+- [ ] Identify rate limits and restrictions
+- [ ] Test endpoints manually with curl
+
+### 1.2 Module Structure

+### 1.3 Core Interfaces
+```typescript
+// IStockPrice - Standardized stock price data
+interface IStockPrice {
+  ticker: string;
+  price: number;
+  currency: string;
+  change: number;
+  changePercent: number;
+  timestamp: Date;
+  provider: string;
+}
+
+// IStockProvider - Provider implementation contract
+interface IStockProvider {
+  name: string;
+  fetchPrice(ticker: string): Promise<IStockPrice>;
+  fetchPrices(tickers: string[]): Promise<IStockPrice[]>;
+  isAvailable(): Promise<boolean>;
+}
+```
+
+### 1.4 Yahoo Finance Provider Implementation
+- [ ] Create YahooFinanceProvider class
+- [ ] Implement HTTP requests to Yahoo Finance endpoints
+- [ ] Parse response data into IStockPrice format
+- [ ] Handle errors and edge cases
+- [ ] Add request throttling/rate limiting
+
+### 1.5 Main Service Class
+- [ ] Create StockPriceService class with provider registry
+- [ ] Implement provider interface for pluggable providers
+- [ ] Register Yahoo provider (with ability to add more later)
+- [ ] Add method for single ticker lookup
+- [ ] Add method for batch ticker lookup
+- [ ] Implement error handling with graceful degradation
+- [ ] Design fallback mechanism (ready for multiple providers)
+
+## Phase 2: Core Features
+
+### 2.1 Service Architecture  
+- [ ] Create provider registry pattern for managing multiple providers
+- [ ] Implement provider priority and selection logic
+- [ ] Design provider health check interface
+- [ ] Create provider configuration system
+- [ ] Implement provider discovery mechanism
+- [ ] Add provider capability querying (which tickers/markets supported)
+
+## Phase 3: Advanced Features
+
+### 3.1 Caching System
+- [ ] Design cache interface
+- [ ] Implement in-memory cache with TTL
+- [ ] Add cache invalidation logic
+- [ ] Make cache configurable per ticker
+
+### 3.2 Configuration
+- [ ] Provider configuration (timeout, retry settings)
+- [ ] Cache configuration (TTL, max entries)
+- [ ] Request timeout configuration
+- [ ] Error handling configuration
+
+### 3.3 Error Handling
+- [ ] Define custom error types
+- [ ] Implement retry logic with exponential backoff
+- [ ] Add circuit breaker pattern for failing providers
+- [ ] Comprehensive error logging
+
+## Phase 4: Testing
+
+### 4.1 Unit Tests
+- [ ] Test each provider independently
+- [ ] Mock HTTP requests for predictable testing
+- [ ] Test error scenarios
+- [ ] Test data transformation logic
+
+### 4.2 Integration Tests
+- [ ] Test with real API calls (rate limit aware)
+- [ ] Test provider fallback scenarios
+- [ ] Test batch operations
+- [ ] Test cache behavior
+
+### 4.3 Performance Tests
+- [ ] Measure response times
+- [ ] Test concurrent request handling
+- [ ] Validate cache effectiveness
+
+## Implementation Order
+
+1. **Week 1: Yahoo Finance Provider**
+   - Research and test Yahoo endpoints
+   - Implement basic provider and service
+   - Create core interfaces
+   - Basic error handling
+
+2. **Week 2: Service Architecture**
+   - Create extensible provider system
+   - Implement provider interface
+   - Add provider registration
+
+3. **Week 3: Advanced Features**
+   - Implement caching system
+   - Add configuration management
+   - Enhance error handling
+
+4. **Week 4: Testing & Documentation**
+   - Write comprehensive tests
+   - Create usage documentation
+   - Performance optimization
+
+## Dependencies
+
+### Required
+- `@push.rocks/smartrequest` - HTTP requests
+- `@push.rocks/smartpromise` - Promise utilities
+- `@push.rocks/smartlog` - Logging
+
+### Development
+- `@git.zone/tstest` - Testing framework
+- `@git.zone/tsrun` - TypeScript execution
+
+## API Endpoints Research
+
+### Yahoo Finance
+- Base URL: `https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v8/finance/chart/{ticker}`
+- No authentication required
+- Returns JSON with price data
+- Rate limits unknown (need to test)
+- Alternative endpoints to explore:
+  - `/v7/finance/quote` - Simplified quote data
+  - `/v10/finance/quoteSummary` - Detailed company data
+
+## Success Criteria
+
+1. Can fetch current stock prices for any valid ticker
+2. Extensible architecture for future providers
+3. Response time < 1 second for cached data
+4. Response time < 3 seconds for fresh data
+5. Proper error handling and recovery
+6. Comprehensive test coverage (>80%)
+
+## Notes
+
+- Yahoo Finance provides free stock data without authentication
+- **Architecture designed for multiple providers**: While only implementing Yahoo Finance initially, all interfaces, classes, and patterns are designed to support multiple stock data providers
+- The provider registry pattern allows adding new providers without modifying existing code
+- Each provider implements the same IStockProvider interface for consistency
+- Future providers can be added by simply creating a new provider class and registering it
+- Implement proper TypeScript types for all data structures
+- Follow the project's coding standards (prefix interfaces with 'I')
+- Use plugins.ts for all external dependencies
+- Keep filenames lowercase
+- Write tests using @git.zone/tstest with smartexpect syntax
+- Focus on clean, extensible architecture for future growth
+
+## Future Provider Addition Example
+
+When ready to add a new provider (e.g., Alpha Vantage), the process will be:
+1. Create `ts/stocks/providers/provider.alphavantage.ts`
+2. Implement the `IStockProvider` interface
+3. Register the provider in the StockPriceService
+4. No changes needed to existing code or interfaces
