Thanks druck! 

Had a look at yfinance and as you guessed it's probably a bit more than
what I'm looking for. I do use Portfolio Performance to keep track of
things and sadly that's not something I can realistically hope to
replicate with a regular spreadsheet, let alone on RISC OS. 

OTOH a csv file could be used for checking rather than tracking stocks as
well. So maybe still worth investigating further.
