# Finance::Quote::ASX - phpMan

## NAME
    [Finance::Quote::ASX] - Obtain quotes from the Australian Stock Exchange.

## SYNOPSIS
            use [Finance::Quote];
            $q = [Finance::Quote]->new;
            %stockinfo = $q->fetch("asx","BHP");       # Only query ASX.
            %stockinfo = $q->fetch("australia","BHP"); # Failover to other sources OK.

## DESCRIPTION
    This module obtains information from the Australian Stock Exchange
    <http://www.asx.com.au/>. Data for all Australian listed securities and
    indices is available. Indexes start with the letter 'X'. For example,
    the All Ordinaries is "XAO". But some securities also start with the
    letter 'X'.

    This module is loaded by default on a [Finance::Quote] object. It's also
    possible to load it explicitly by placing "ASX" in the argument list to
    [Finance::Quote]->new().

    This module provides both the "asx" and "australia" fetch methods.
    Please use the "australia" fetch method if you wish to have failover
    with other sources for Australian stocks (such as Yahoo). Using the
    "asx" method will guarantee that your information only comes from the
    Australian Stock Exchange.

    Information returned by this module is governed by the Australian Stock
    Exchange's terms and conditions.

## LABELS RETURNED
    The following labels may be returned by [Finance::Quote::ASX]: bid, offer,
    open, high, low, last, net, p_change, volume, and price.
