Adding get_symbols_list method to base class ...
Am having a look at various methods here, possibly fixing some things. Along the way I've noticed there really aren't many sources that have what I like to call an "arg-gen" method that might yield the list of symbols or datasets query-able by the class. Is this something that has been avoided due to worries of abuse?
Also was thinking about using some distributed and shareable cache as a means of throttling the global behaviour. Anyone aware of any discussions related to these two related ideas? I tried on gitter but no one is there.
If a provider has an endpoint that returns the list of datasets, we are happy to include it. We have avoided fishing-like behavior that tries to discover what is available.
