Quoter is a small command-line tool to fetch stock quotes.
By default, the program shows you the summary of the securities entered and the DOW, NASDAQ and S&P 500, and NASDAQ index data, as shown in the image below.
Let’s say we want to find out the current price for a few stocks listed on the NASDAQ stock exchange, a stock exchange based in New York which consists of around 3,500 companies. We simply need to append the stock tickers to the command quoter.
$ quoter TSLA NVDA AAPL JNJ
We can display more detailed information using the -d option. For example, let’s see more detailed information for NVIDIA Corp (NVDA).
There’s also a -t switch which shows a 3 month trend which includes daily high, low, and close prices.
The software lets us save specific securities as a default.
