Quick start
The following example shows a simple setup, which subscribes to the tickers AAPL and TSLA and prints received quotes until interrupted.
from yflive import QuoteStreamer
qs = QuoteStreamer()
qs.subscribe(["AAPL", "TSLA"])
qs.on_quote = lambda qs, q: print(q)
# Non-blocking if should_thread=True (default is False)
qs.start(should_thread=False)
Quotes are in real time (with exceptions) and normally only available during trading hours.
