Can you add some new data-source API since yahoo and google are both malfunctioned.

I noticed that you only created 2 data-source options which are "yahoo" and "google", but unfortunately at present both of them are hard to connect. I tried many times but both of them failed to load online data.

Or can users add their own data-source URL? How to add it?

Maybe we could look into Alpha Vantage or the IEX API.

@jackmoody11 will look into it, great idea

This module is still working with Yahoo source, https://github.com/JECSand/yahoofinancials. Would be great if there is an easy way to integrate this or customized data source

Maybe it's my code but I'm finding Alpha Vantage quite slow. Could also be API call limitation. Please take a look:

I started this with the discovery that google and yahoo datasources were becoming obsolete
