I'm trying to write a script to pull stock quotes using curl

Can this be done easily using curl -L https://someURL.com to pull the data?

Do stock quotes require a login or browser only? Or could I pull it down using JSON?

Thanks in advance.

Wrote a shell function for this:

q () {
        curl -sL "https://www.google.com/finance/quote/$1" | pandoc -f html -t plain | grep -A9 "${1%:*}" | awk 'NR==1 || NR==9' ORS=' '
}

Usage:

$ q "SPY:NYSEARCA"
SPY • NYSEARCA $451.64
