The Stock Search template helps you find up-to-date market quotes in just a few seconds.

Overview

Say hello to Stock Search - an API-powered template for finding pricing information about any stock on the S&P 500. Stock Search allows you to fetch specific information about a stock's price, such as the open, close, high/low, and current market price.

This template works by capturing the user's intention through a combination of capture and intent steps. A GET request is then used to retrieve specific stock information requested by the user. Try it yourself by downloading it above!

This template will teach you:

How to configure your API step to initiate a GET request
How to map and reuse variables in your experience
How to create a dynamic API link using a variable
When to use different user inputs to capture the user's response
