Crypto lookups, ticker searches, and company name queries are supported natively, allowing you to retrieve real-time quotes and compare assets seamlessly.

Stock history data can be optionally enriched with backfilled metrics by providing an Alpha Vantage API key, adding deeper financial context to the fetched results.

Comparing stock quotes from the command line is handled by the built-in compare function, which retrieves and evaluates multiple ticker symbols to output relative JSON data.
