Get current stock price?

[ablankenship10]

Checked through the code and did some tests but want to make sure im not totally missing something. Can I get the current price with any of the calls, or can Alpha Vantage return that at all? I only want to pull the current price like once an hour so it doesn't have to be down to the second or anything.

Looks like the Quote API works for that, was able to implement directly with Alpha Vantage, might try and submit a PR if I find some time to add it to this library

Hi, any progress on this? I would like to fetch the current stock price given the symbol. Perhaps you can point me in the right direction.

Disreguard. I went with Alpha Vantage directly as well.

Could you help me with this? Currently, I am using this package set on a daily time-interval, like this:

setInterval(async () => {
  let gtlbResult = await stocks.timeSeries({
    symbol: 'GTLB',
    interval: 'daily',
    amount: 1
  });

  console.log('GTLB (GitLab):');
  console.log(gtlbResult);
  console.log("----------");
}, 1000 * 60 * 60 * 24);
