Did you have a look at https://docs.kde.org/stable4/en/extragear-office/kmymoney/details.investments.prices.html#details.investments.onlinequotes 
already? At the bottom of this page we explain how to add new quote sources. A 
bit of regular expression foo is required to extract the price from a web-
site. In case you don't have that, I am sure someone here on the user mailing 
list can help out.

Hope that helps.
