## Grafana Finance Datasource

Fetches data from the Quandl API and maps the data to a timeseries. This is all done in the browser without needing an additional backend.

The query format is as follows:

```
[DATASET][CODE][KEY]


DATASET: Quandl dataset
CODE: Code of series in quandl dataset
KEY (optional): name of column to use (leave blank to use first column)
```

For example, for the commodity price of gold, use the dateset LBMA with code GOLD: LBMA/GOLD.
