Hi,

I want to use stock_quote for French actions (like here: https://www.google.com/search?channel=fs&client=ubuntu&q=cours+ai), but the "AI" symbol already exist in USA market. So when I use StockQuote::Stock.quote("AI"), it's the US action by default.

What is the best way to modify the code above to find "Air Liquide" data for french market (Paris) ?

Hi @Bertrand-Bichat, not at the moment, I don't believe. The Gem uses the IEX Cloud API for stock quotes, although in a limited capacity (only a few endpoints). There is a more featured gem, iex-ruby-client, but I am not sure that supports that functionality either. The question is what IEX endpoint supports international symbols and how, but I am not seeing any documentation on that yet. I did find this though.
