_(Find the Stocks service widget [here](../services/stocks.md))_

The Stocks Information Widget allows you to include basic stock market data in
your Homepage header. The widget includes the current price of a stock, and the
change in price for the day.

Finnhub.io is currently the only supported provider for the stocks widget.
You can sign up for a free api key at [finnhub.io](https://finnhub.io).
You are encouraged to read finnhub.io's
[terms of service/privacy policy](https://finnhub.io/terms-of-service) before
signing up. The documentation for the endpoint that is utilized can be viewed
[here](https://finnhub.io/docs/api/quote).

You must set `finnhub` as a provider in your `settings.yaml` like below:

```yaml
providers:
  finnhub: yourfinnhubapikeyhere
```

Next, configure the stocks widget in your `widgets.yaml`:

The information widget allows for up to 8 items in the watchlist.

```yaml
- stocks:
    provider: finnhub
    color: true # optional, defaults to true
    cache: 1 # optional, default caches results for 1 minute
    watchlist:
      - GME
      - AMC
      - NVDA
      - AMD
      - TSM
      - MSFT
      - AAPL
      - BRK.A
```

The above configuration would result in something like this:
