In this article, I will be showing you how to build a stock quote Lightning Component with HighChartTable chart and Yahoo’s YQL(Yahoo Query Language) web service. You can use this component to see Stock Market Updates of any Company and of any StockExchange provided by the Yahoo API.
YQL is like SOQL language that allows you to query, filter and combine data from multiple sources across both the Yahoo! network and other open data sources. Yahoo made things easy on us by providing a very intuitive console for accessing data via the API. You can read complete documentation about YQL. HighChartTable charts are used to represent your data as Charts and Graphs. HighChartTable chart can not be used for commercial purposes.
Follow the steps below to install the Stock Update component and create the application in your own Developer Org.
For example, enter the following values:
Salesforce :
Company : Salesforce,
Symbol : CRM
StockExchange : NYSE
Apple
Company : Apple,
Symbol : AAPL
StockExchange : NASDAQ
Google
Company : Google,
Symbol : GOOG
StockExchange : NASDAQ
