But, Funds do expire, change, etc. So I'm still wanting to have a link where I can easily grab another symbol before I even attempt to debug the module. It was only a few months ago when the original author submitted the PR to add the module.

There’s a search box into which I entered XY040208 and clicked the search button. That produced a table with prices. The page source’s body contains a script and no other content so IIUC it’s not scrapable.

I have spent a considerable amount of time search for a list of valid funds in order to change the symbol used for testing with no success. I have attempted to contact the module's original author for the last 2 or 3 weeks and have not received a response.
