 # Changelog
 
+## 2025-10-31 - 2.1.0 - feat(stocks)
+Add unified stock data API (getData) with historical/OHLCV support, smart caching and provider enhancements
+
+- Introduce discriminated union request types (IStockDataRequest) and a unified getData() method (replaces legacy getPrice/getPrices for new use cases)
+- Add OHLCV fields (open, high, low, volume, adjusted) and metadata (dataType, fetchedAt) to IStockPrice
+- Implement data-type aware smart caching with TTLs (historical = never expire, EOD = 24h, live = 30s, intraday matches interval)
+- Extend StockPriceService: new getData(), data-specific cache keys, cache maxEntries increased (default 10000), and TTL-aware add/get cache logic
+- Enhance Marketstack provider: unified fetchData(), historical date-range retrieval with pagination, exchange filtering, batch current fetch, OHLCV mapping, and intraday placeholder
+- Update Yahoo provider to include dataType and fetchedAt (live data) and maintain legacy fetchPrice/fetchPrices compatibility
+- Add/adjust tests to cover unified API, historical retrieval, OHLCV presence and smart caching behavior; test setup updated to require explicit OpenData directory paths
+- Update README to document v2.1 changes, migration examples, and new stock provider capabilities
+
+## 2025-10-31 - 2.0.0 - BREAKING CHANGE(OpenData)
+Require explicit directory paths for OpenData (nogit/download/germanBusinessData); remove automatic .nogit creation; update HandelsRegister, JsonlDataProcessor, tests and README.
+
+- Breaking: OpenData constructor now requires a config object with nogitDir, downloadDir and germanBusinessDataDir. The constructor will throw if these paths are not provided.
+- Removed automatic creation/export of .nogit/download/germanBusinessData from ts/paths. OpenData.start now ensures the required directories exist.
+- HandelsRegister API changed: constructor now accepts downloadDir and manages its own unique download folder; screenshot and download paths now use the configured downloadDir.
+- JsonlDataProcessor now accepts a germanBusinessDataDir parameter and uses it when ensuring/storing data instead of relying on global paths.
+- Updated tests to provide explicit path configuration (tests now set testNogitDir, testDownloadDir, testGermanBusinessDataDir and write outputs accordingly) and to use updated constructors and qenv usage.
+- Documentation updated (README) to document the breaking change and show examples for required directory configuration when instantiating OpenData.
+- Added .claude/settings.local.json for local permissions/config used in development/CI environments.
+
+## 2025-10-11 - 1.7.0 - feat(stocks)
+Add Marketstack provider (EOD) with tests, exports and documentation updates
+
+- Add MarketstackProvider implementation (ts/stocks/providers/provider.marketstack.ts) providing EOD single and batch fetching, availability checks and mapping to IStockPrice.
+- Export MarketstackProvider from ts/stocks/index.ts so it is available via the public API.
+- Add comprehensive Marketstack tests (test/test.marketstack.node.ts) covering registration, health checks, single/batch fetches, caching, ticker/market validation, provider stats and sample output.
+- Update README with Marketstack usage examples, configuration, API key instructions and provider/health documentation.
+- Bump dev dependency @git.zone/tstest to ^2.4.2 in package.json.
+- Add project helper/config files (.claude/settings.local.json, .serena/project.yml and .serena/.gitignore) to support CI/tooling.

 # @fin.cx/opendata
+
 🚀 **Real-time financial data and German business intelligence in one powerful TypeScript library**
 
 Access live stock prices, cryptocurrencies, forex, commodities AND comprehensive German company data - all through a single, unified API.
 
+## ⚠️ Breaking Changes
+
+### v2.1 - Enhanced Stock Market API (Current)
+
+**The stock market API has been significantly enhanced with a new unified request system.**
+
+**What Changed:**
+- New discriminated union request types (`IStockDataRequest`)
+- Enhanced `IStockPrice` interface with OHLCV data and metadata
+- New `getData()` method replaces legacy `getPrice()` and `getPrices()`
+- Historical data support with date ranges
+- Exchange filtering via MIC codes
+- Smart caching with data-type aware TTL
+
+**Migration:**
+```typescript
+// OLD (v2.0 and earlier)
+const price = await service.getPrice({ ticker: 'AAPL' });
+const prices = await service.getPrices({ tickers: ['AAPL', 'MSFT'] });
+
+// NEW (v2.1+) - Unified API
+const price = await service.getData({ type: 'current', ticker: 'AAPL' });
+const prices = await service.getData({ type: 'batch', tickers: ['AAPL', 'MSFT'] });
+
+// NEW - Historical data
+const history = await service.getData({
+  type: 'historical',
+  ticker: 'AAPL',
+  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
+  to: new Date('2024-12-31')
+});
+
+// NEW - Exchange filtering
+const price = await service.getData({
+  type: 'current',
+  ticker: 'VOD',
+  exchange: 'XLON' // London Stock Exchange
+});
+```
+
+**Note:** Legacy `getPrice()` and `getPrices()` methods still work but are deprecated.
+
+### v2.0 - Directory Configuration
+
+**Directory paths are now MANDATORY when using German business data features.** The package no longer creates `.nogit/` directories automatically. You must explicitly configure all directory paths when instantiating `OpenData`:
+
+```typescript
+const openData = new OpenData({
+  nogitDir: '/path/to/your/data',
+  downloadDir: '/path/to/your/data/downloads',
+  germanBusinessDataDir: '/path/to/your/data/germanbusinessdata'
+});
+```
+
+This change enables the package to work in read-only filesystems (like Deno compiled binaries) and gives you full control over where data is stored.
+

 ## Advanced Examples
 
+### Phase 1: Historical Data Analysis
+
+Fetch and analyze historical price data:
+
+```typescript
+// Get 1 year of historical data
+const history = await stockService.getData({
+  type: 'historical',
+  ticker: 'AAPL',
+  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
+  to: new Date('2024-12-31'),
+  sort: 'DESC' // Newest first (default)
+});
+
+// Calculate statistics
+const prices = history.map(p => p.price);
+const high52Week = Math.max(...prices);
+const low52Week = Math.min(...prices);
+const avgPrice = prices.reduce((a, b) => a + b) / prices.length;
+
+console.log(`52-Week Analysis for AAPL:`);

+console.log(`Low:     $${low52Week.toFixed(2)}`);
+console.log(`Average: $${avgPrice.toFixed(2)}`);
+console.log(`Days:    ${history.length}`);
+
+// Calculate daily returns
+for (let i = 0; i < history.length - 1; i++) {
+  const todayPrice = history[i].price;
+  const yesterdayPrice = history[i + 1].price;
+  const dailyReturn = ((todayPrice - yesterdayPrice) / yesterdayPrice) * 100;
+  console.log(`${history[i].timestamp.toISOString().split('T')[0]}: ${dailyReturn.toFixed(2)}%`);
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 1: Exchange-Specific Trading
+
+Compare prices across different exchanges:
+
+```typescript
+// Vodafone trades on both London and NYSE
+const exchanges = [
+  { mic: 'XLON', name: 'London Stock Exchange' },
+  { mic: 'XNYS', name: 'New York Stock Exchange' }
+];
+
+for (const exchange of exchanges) {
+  try {
+    const price = await stockService.getData({
+      type: 'current',
+      ticker: 'VOD',
+      exchange: exchange.mic
+    });
+
+    console.log(`${exchange.name}:`);
+    console.log(`  Price: ${price.price} ${price.currency}`);
+    console.log(`  Volume: ${price.volume?.toLocaleString()}`);
+    console.log(`  Exchange: ${price.exchangeName}`);
+  } catch (error) {
+    console.log(`${exchange.name}: Not available`);
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Phase 1: OHLCV Technical Analysis
+
+Use OHLCV data for technical indicators:
+
+```typescript
+const history = await stockService.getData({
+  type: 'historical',
+  ticker: 'TSLA',
+  from: new Date('2024-11-01'),
+  to: new Date('2024-11-30')
+});
+
+// Calculate daily trading range
+for (const day of history) {
+  const range = day.high - day.low;
+  const rangePercent = (range / day.low) * 100;
+
+  console.log(`${day.timestamp.toISOString().split('T')[0]}:`);
+  console.log(`  Open:   $${day.open}`);
+  console.log(`  High:   $${day.high}`);
+  console.log(`  Low:    $${day.low}`);
+  console.log(`  Close:  $${day.price}`);
+  console.log(`  Volume: ${day.volume?.toLocaleString()}`);
+  console.log(`  Range:  $${range.toFixed(2)} (${rangePercent.toFixed(2)}%)`);
+}
+
+// Calculate Simple Moving Average (SMA)
+const calculateSMA = (data: IStockPrice[], period: number) => {
+  const sma: number[] = [];
+  for (let i = period - 1; i < data.length; i++) {
+    const sum = data.slice(i - period + 1, i + 1)
+      .reduce((acc, p) => acc + p.price, 0);
+    sma.push(sum / period);
+  }
+  return sma;
+};
+
+const sma20 = calculateSMA(history, 20);
+const sma50 = calculateSMA(history, 50);
+
+console.log(`20-day SMA: $${sma20[0].toFixed(2)}`);
+console.log(`50-day SMA: $${sma50[0].toFixed(2)}`);
+```
+
+### Phase 1: Smart Caching Performance
+
+Leverage smart caching for efficiency:
+
+```typescript
+// Historical data is cached FOREVER (never changes)
+console.time('First historical fetch');
+const history1 = await stockService.getData({
+  type: 'historical',
+  ticker: 'AAPL',
+  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
+  to: new Date('2024-12-31')
+});
+console.timeEnd('First historical fetch');
+// Output: First historical fetch: 2341ms
+
+console.time('Second historical fetch (cached)');
+const history2 = await stockService.getData({
+  type: 'historical',
+  ticker: 'AAPL',
+  from: new Date('2024-01-01'),
+  to: new Date('2024-12-31')
+});
+console.timeEnd('Second historical fetch (cached)');
+// Output: Second historical fetch (cached): 2ms (1000x faster!)
+
+// EOD data cached for 24 hours
+const currentPrice = await stockService.getData({
+  type: 'current',
+  ticker: 'MSFT'
+});
+// Subsequent calls within 24h served from cache
+
+// Cache statistics
+console.log(`Cache size: ${stockService['cache'].size} entries`);

-## Performance
+## Provider Architecture
 
-- **Batch fetching**: Get 100+ prices in <500ms
+The library uses a flexible provider system that makes it easy to add new data sources:
-- **Caching**: Instant repeated queries
-- **Concurrent processing**: Handle 1000+ records/second
-- **Streaming**: Process GB-sized datasets without memory issues
-
-## Extensibility
-
-The provider architecture makes it easy to add new data sources:
 
 ```typescript
 class MyCustomProvider implements IStockProvider {
   name = 'My Provider';
+  priority = 50;
+  requiresAuth = true;
 
   async fetchPrice(request: IStockQuoteRequest): Promise<IStockPrice> {
     // Your implementation
   }
 
-  // ... other required methods
+  async fetchPrices(request: IStockBatchQuoteRequest): Promise<IStockPrice[]> {
+    // Batch implementation
+  }
+
+  async isAvailable(): Promise<boolean> {
+    // Health check

+  supportsMarket(market: string): boolean {
+    // Market validation
+  }
+
+  supportsTicker(ticker: string): boolean {
+    // Ticker validation
+  }
 }
 
 stockService.register(new MyCustomProvider());
 ```
 
+## Performance
+
+- **Batch fetching**: Get 100+ EOD prices in one API request
+- **Smart caching**: Instant repeated queries with configurable TTL
+- **Rate limit aware**: Automatic retry logic for API limits
