Quick Start

📈 Real-Time Stock Data

Get live market data in seconds:

import { StockPriceService, YahooFinanceProvider } from '@fin.cx/opendata';

// Initialize the service
const stockService = new StockPriceService();
stockService.register(new YahooFinanceProvider());

// Get single stock price
const apple = await stockService.getPrice({ ticker: 'AAPL' });
console.log(`Apple: $${apple.price} (${apple.changePercent.toFixed(2)}%)`);

// 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:

import { OpenData } from '@fin.cx/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();

Advanced Examples

Market Dashboard

Create a real-time market overview:

const indicators = [
  // Indices
  { ticker: '^GSPC', name: 'S&P 500' },
  { ticker: '^IXIC', name: 'NASDAQ' },
  
  // Tech Giants
  { ticker: 'AAPL', name: 'Apple' },
  { ticker: 'MSFT', name: 'Microsoft' },
  
  // Crypto
  { ticker: 'BTC-USD', name: 'Bitcoin' },
  { ticker: 'ETH-USD', name: 'Ethereum' },
  
  // Commodities
  { ticker: 'GC=F', name: 'Gold' },
  { ticker: 'CL=F', name: 'Oil' }
];

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:

// 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) {
  await file.writeToDir('./downloads');
}

Combined Data Analysis

Merge financial and business data:

// 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 {
    // Map company to ticker (custom logic needed)
    const ticker = mapCompanyToTicker(company.data.name);
    
    if (ticker) {
      const stock = await stockService.getPrice({ ticker });
      
      // Add financial metrics
      company.data.stockPrice = stock.price;
      company.data.marketCap = stock.price * getSharesOutstanding(ticker);
      company.data.priceChange = stock.changePercent;
      
      await company.save();
    }
  } catch (error) {
    // Handle missing tickers gracefully
  }
}
