Overview

The Stock Quote WordPress plugin is a user-friendly tool designed to effortlessly insert inline stock quotes with real-time price information into posts, pages, widgets, or template files using shortcodes. Powered by data from Alpha Vantage, this plugin allows users to configure default stock symbols, display options, and global colors for stock changes. While it does not support multisite WordPress or have its own Gutenberg block, users can insert stock quotes inline within Paragraph or Common Blocks. Key features include tooltips displaying company details, custom name definitions for companies, and data caching to optimize loading times. The plugin works by rendering quote placeholders that update via AJAX calls, ensuring minimal disruption to page rendering. This plugin is especially useful for bloggers and financial analysts who wish to include up-to-date stock information in their content, supporting multiple major stock exchange markets worldwide.

  • Tooltip for quote item displays company name, exchange market, and last trade date/time (if available)
  • Override default template string with various template keywords for personalized display

Efficient Data Handling

  • Plugin uses native WordPress function to get and cache data from AlphaVantage.co API for predefined duration of time
  • AJAX calls ensure that the quote content is updated without disturbing page rendering and speed
  • New fetched quote for symbol will be displayed on front-end only after page reload

Versatile Usage

  • Add Stock Quote to posts, pages, or widgets by shortcode
  • Shortcode parameters allow for detailed customization such as symbol, show, decimals, number_format, template, raw, and class

User sentiment analysis

Users appreciate the plugin for its comprehensive options, multi-exchange quote retrieval, and new raw price calculation feature. They highlight the responsive and effective support provided by the developer. The plugin is described as small and neat, effectively fulfilling its promises. A suggested improvement is adding help for selecting stock exchanges directly on the plugin's page.

I like it, it provides all needed options. Tip for author: Help on selecting stock exchange should be put on plugin’s page.
