print content
The direct URLs no longer work. Seems to be a refactoring of their website.
However I found out that local library cards get free premium access, so I should be able to reuse that ID to make premium requests.
The biggest drawback is that I need to send a dummy request for the ticker symbol in order to parse out the unique ticker ID that the API requires. I have not found a more robust way to do this.
This also is subject to breaking if the url ever changes.
