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.

You can obtain a Quandl API key here.

You can see explore Quandl's datasets here.

If you are looking for stock/equity prices, use the Yahoo dataset.
