Implement getDividends about iex-cpp-client HOT 2 CLOSED

Are you interested in having this method return a struct similar to PriceData?

from iex-cpp-client.

Hi @42iscool42,

The price endpoint returns a single float like: 143.28 and requires just one parameter. A symbol like: amzn.

The dividends endpoint will accept two input parameters instead of just one. time_range and stock_symbol. The returned data is also a bit different since it contains a list of fields, not just one unique value. It is up to you, the good thing about this repository is that it is pretty new, so there is a lot of space for improvement and creativity. I would create something like a list of structs like this:

...
        "dividends.exDate": "2017-08-10",
        "dividends.paymentDate": "2017-08-17",
        "dividends.recordDate": "2017-08-14",
        "dividends.declaredDate": "2017-08-01",
        "dividends.amount": 0.63,
        "dividends.type": "Dividend income",
        "dividends.qualified": "Q"
...
