Permissions and refresh
The only permission is HTTPS access to query1.finance.yahoo.com. The request sends a browser User-Agent header, which the API requires; the widget is also BarShelf's example of an HTTP source with custom headers. It refreshes every five minutes while the popover is visible. Clicking it opens the quote page on Yahoo Finance. Prices can be delayed; do not trade on them.
Install
Included with BarShelf. Open the popover, go to the Gallery, and add it. BarShelf asks you to approve the permissions listed above first.
brew install --cask open330/tap/barshelf
