Feature request: Stock Ticker with Price Chart #379

It would be super awesome to have a stock ticker option with price chart

That would be awesome, but...

The OEPL protocol (and the tags) are not suitable for displaying real-time info. So, the stock prices would be only refresh a few times a day (or maximum once an hour). Not suitable for day trading, but for a broad indication it would defenately work.

The bigger drawback: I could not find a free public stock market API that can be used anonymously without requesting an API key. Of course setting an API key can be part of the properties of the content card, but I rather keep it simple (and in case of 15 minute delayed stock pricing, it should not be needed as it's public info anyway).

So, if anyone knows of a API to get stock info, I'm happy to implement stock ticker content at some point.
