🛠 Power User Tip: Headless Ticker Monitoring
If you want to pull stock telemetry directly into your terminal environment (e.g., for a tmux status bar or automated alerting), scraping heavy web frontends is inefficient. You can poll JSON-formatted API endpoints using a robust, self-healing bash script.
This drop-in script uses curl and jq to parse data reliably, incorporating built-in validation checks and optional verbose logging for debugging.

Implementation notes for the script:
- Timeouts (-m 10): Prevents hanging indefinitely if the endpoint stops responding.
- User-Agent: Essential for bypassing baseline scraping blocks on financial APIs.
- JSON validation: The script explicitly checks for valid payload structure before attempting to extract specific keys, preventing silent null failures.
