Some example

Plot the result

In[2]:= DateListPlot[Rest[%]]

Facebook stock price

In[4]:= fbstock =
  QuandlFinancialData["datasets/WIKI/FB",
   apiKey -> "you_api_key", startDate -> "2016-05-01",
   endDate -> "2016-06-30"];

Plot the trading graph of facebook's stock.

TradingChart[Map[{First @ #, #[[2 ;; 6]]} &, Rest[%]]]

We can also do some transformation by using transform parameter.

In[5]:= fbchange =
 QuandlFinancialData["datasets/WIKI/FB",
  apiKey -> "you_api_key", startDate -> "2016-05-01",
  endDate -> "2016-06-30", transform -> "rdiff",
  extra -> <| "column_index" -> "4"|>]

Plot the change

In[6]:= ListLinePlot[Map[#[[2]] &, Rest[fbchange]]]

Filter rows and columns

Some dataset are filterable by row and column. In QuandlLink you can use an association in the extra option to do that. Like the following example.

In[7]:= filterRows =
 QuandlFinancialData["datatables/INQ/EE", apiKey -> "you_api_key",
  extra -> <|"qopts.columns" -> "company", "isin" -> "FI0009000681" |>]

Out[7]:= {{"company"}, {"NOKIA"}, {"NOKIA"}, {"NOKIA"}}

In[8]:= filterMultiRowsAndCols =
 QuandlFinancialData["datatables/INQ/EE", apiKey -> "you_api_key",
  extra -> <|"qopts.columns" -> {"company", "isin"},
    "isin" -> {"FI0009000681", "DE0007236101"}|>]

Out[8]:= {{"company", "isin"}, {"NOKIA", "FI0009000681"}, {"NOKIA",
  "FI0009000681"}, {"NOKIA", "FI0009000681"}, {"SIEMENS",
  "DE0007236101"}, {"SIEMENS", "DE0007236101"}, {"SIEMENS",
  "DE0007236101"}}
