Integrate stock price updates with transaction downloads
I was looking at the stock updater extension because I'm getting inconsistent downloads. However, I had an idea to look for the API for my brokerage. In the case of TDAmeritrade it was readily available but it seems clear to me that MD must already have the infrastructure for oauth login, etc. The request for stock quotes at the same time would require a single call https://api.tdameritrade.com/v1/marketdata/quotes.
It seems likely that other institutions that have OFX connections have similar APIs where applicable. If these APIs could be leveraged it would distribute the load of quote requests away from the two central services in yahooqt which have had to make changes to prevent huge downloads.

OFX doesn't use OAUTH so we haven't yet added it to Moneydance, but this would be a fantastic thing to add. If you already know of a library to do this I'd love to incorporate it in Moneydance so that extensions and other connected services don't have to re-invent it.
Thanks,
Sean

I was mistaken about this. TDAmeritrade's trading API does not require OAUTH authentication for most read-only requests. However, it does require an API key.
