You are welcome.

The 'financeapi' method is listed as "YH Finance" I believe. It does 
require signing up and getting an API Key/Token at https://financeapi.net/.

Please send the link. It will be handy to know if F::Q team needs to 
replace symbols used in the test script.

mentioned previously both MorningstarUK and FTFunds will only query on 
ISIN codes.
The man page or documentation for each can be displayed by executing 
"perldoc Finance::Quote::MorningstarUK" or "perldoc 
Finance::Quote::FTfunds". An alternative is to look them up on MetaCPAN.

https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote::MorningstarUK

https://metacpan.org/pod/Finance::Quote::FTfunds

Both note that only ISIN codes are used for lookups.

Thank you.
