2. Obtain your Account ID from your Finam account dashboard
3. Set environment variables:

export FINAM_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
export FINAM_ACCOUNT_ID="your_account_id_here"

Obtain JWT token before using the API:

export FINAM_JWT_TOKEN=$(curl -sL "https://api.finam.ru/v1/sessions" \
--header "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"secret": "'"$FINAM_API_KEY"'"}' | jq -r '.token')

Note: Token expires after 15 minutes. Re-run this command if you receive authentication errors.
