## Descripción

**VSForge Stock Market Widgets Lite** lets you embed real-time stock quotes anywhere
on your WordPress site using a simple shortcode or the built-in Gutenberg block.
Bring your own free [Finnhub](https://finnhub.io/register) API key — no subscription
required.

#### Five display layouts

 * **Single Card** — one symbol as a prominent price card
 * **Sparkline** — price card with a 30-day trend mini-chart
 * **Horizontal Ticker** — all symbols in a classic scrollable ticker band (static
   or auto-scroll)
 * **Vertical List** — financial-table style with logo, name, price and change columns
 * **Card Grid** — responsive grid of individual price cards

#### Key features

 * Powered by the **Finnhub** free API (60 requests/minute) — [get a free key](https://finnhub.io/register)
 * Optional company **logos** via the free [API Ninjas](https://api-ninjas.com/register)
   logo endpoint
 * **Dark theme** support — toggle globally or per widget
 * Shortcode `[vsforge_smw_ticker]` with per-widget overrides for layout, symbols,
   display, scroll and theme
 * Native **Gutenberg block** with live preview in the editor
 * Translations included for **English, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese (Brazil),
   Japanese, Russian**
 * Lightweight — no jQuery dependency, vanilla JS only
 * Results cached with WordPress transients (5 min for quotes, 1 h for sparklines,
   7 days for logos)

## Instalación

    directory, or install directly through the WordPress Plugins screen.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** screen in WordPress.
 3. Go to **Settings  Stock Market Widgets** and enter your free [Finnhub API key](https://finnhub.io/register).
 4. Optionally enter a free [API Ninjas key](https://api-ninjas.com/register) to enable

    Market Ticker** block in the Gutenberg editor.

## FAQ

### Do I need a paid API plan?

No. Both Finnhub and API Ninjas offer free tiers that are sufficient for normal 
usage. Finnhub’s free plan allows 60 API requests per minute.

### How do I get a Finnhub API key?

Register for free at [finnhub.io/register](https://finnhub.io/register). After registration,
copy your API key from the dashboard and paste it into **Settings  Stock Market 
Widgets  Finnhub API Key**.

### Where do I get a logo API key?

Register for free at [api-ninjas.com/register](https://api-ninjas.com/register).
Logos are optional — the plugin works without them.

### Can I display multiple widgets with different layouts on the same page?

Yes. Each shortcode instance can have its own `layout`, `symbols`, `scroll`, and`
dark` attributes, overriding the global defaults.

### Which stock exchanges are supported?

Any symbol supported by Finnhub — US stocks (NYSE, NASDAQ), major international 
exchanges, forex and crypto pairs (e.g. `BINANCE:BTCUSDT`). Refer to the [Finnhub symbol search](https://finnhub.io/docs/api/symbol-search)
for details.

### How often are prices updated?

Quotes are cached for 5 minutes. Refreshing the page or the AJAX call after the 
cache expires fetches fresh data from Finnhub.

### Is the plugin compatible with page caching plugins?

Yes. Price data is fetched via AJAX after page load, so full-page caches do not 
affect quote freshness.
