Stock Ticker

You can use standard symbols from stock exchanges supported by AlphaVantage.co, such as AAPL, MSFT, IBM, CSCO, GOOG, YHOO, and AMZN (Apple Inc., Microsoft Corporation, International Business Machines Corporation, Cisco Systems, Inc., Google Inc., Yahoo! Inc., Amazon.com). To check if AlphaVantage.co supports your preferred symbol(s), you can use the Symbol Search & Test tool on the plugin settings page to search for keywords and symbols on AlphaVantage.co directly from your WordPress dashboard.

Try to find the correct symbol on AlphaVantage.co by looking for it in the Symbol Search & Test tool. Even try alternatives or the company name. If that does not help, you can search the Alpha Vantage community forum www.alpha-vantage.community or contact Alpha Vantage support.

AlphaVantage.co does not support indexes since mid-2020.

Commodities are not supported by the Stock Ticker.

Forex is not supported by the Stock Ticker.

Enter symbol in format EXCHANGE:SYMBOL, like LON:LLOY or SYMBOL.EXCHANGE like LLOY.LON for Lloyds Banking Group Plc from the London Stock Exchange market. Please note that AlphaVantage.co does not always provide stock data for all existing stocks.

Add to Custom Names legend currency exchange symbol w/o =X part, like: EURGBP;Euro (€) ⇨ British Pound Sterling (£)

Add this to your template file (you can also add custom parameters for the shortcode): <?php echo do_shortcode('[stock_ticker]'); ?>

On the Settings page for the plugin, you can set a custom Value template. You can use macro keywords %exch_symbol%, %symbol%, %company%, %price%, %volume%, %change%, %changep% and %ltrade% mixed with HTML tags <span> (allowed class and style attribute), <em> and/or <strong>. Default template is %company% %price% %change% %changep% but you can format it like: <span style="color:#333">%company%</span> <em>%price%</em> <strong>%change%</strong> %changep%

Please note that Alpha Vantage does not provide the company name in retrieved feeds. You'll need to set the company name in the Custom Names field on the plugin settings page.

This can be a temporary issue. First, try running Fetch Stock Data Now! on the plugin settings page. Then try increasing the Fetch Timeout option in the general plugin settings and run Fetch Stock Data Now!. If you continue to experience issues, please contact us through the community support forum.
