Add Stock Quote Date Table to WordPress With Shortcode (Alpha Vantage API)

In early October we provided a shortcode that would query Alpha Vantage for stock data. One of the comments asked about how one would include the data in tables rather than a graph. This is a very crude example (I spend no more than a couple of minutes modifying it). If you're going to use it you'll want to style it and copy the inline CSS to the appropriate location.

■ ■ ■

Shortcode of [stocktable number="10"] returns the following. It's kind-of mobile responsive... so if you were to use it you would certainly need to make improvements. We're caching the data for three hours.

If you require shortcode to work in a sidebar widget, you'll have to enable the functionality with a filter. If you're using our custom functions plugin, you'll have that feature enabled by default.
