Response Parsing Tips

• All responses are JSON. Use exec to run curl and parse with JSON.parse().
• Always include the User-Agent header to avoid 403 errors.
• Yahoo Finance rate limits are generous for individual use.
• If a quote endpoint returns empty, try the chart endpoint instead.
• For crypto and forex, always include =X or -USD suffix.
