            Bug ID: 130536
           Summary: [FEATURE] Add Ability to Retrieve Financial Data
                    (Stocks)
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ Master
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: jmadero.dev at gmail.com

Description:
Asked over on ask.libreoffice.org months ago about whether it's possible to
pull stock quotes. No responses. Lots of google searches leave me thinking it's
not possible (surprised...).

Looks like Excel has added a "stock" data type which appears quite useful for
financial tasks one might do with a spreadsheet:

Request:

Add ability to set a cell to "stock" and then pull relevant data (current
price, past closing, etc...) from useful sites such as yahoo finance, msn
finance, bloomberg, etc...

Actual Results:
No ability to pull stock ticker information. 

Expected Results:
Add feature to allow pulling stock ticker information from financial websites.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No
