Getting started

AlphaVantage API setup

After installing tstock, you will need a AlphaVantage API key to pull the market data.

Make a free AlphaVantage API account at https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key
After creating the account, you will see your free API key
Run export ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=<your access key>. You can make this permanent by adding this line to your .bashrc

Usage

tstock aapl # chart of $AAPL
tstock aapl -t 1min # the past 70 1-minute-intervals of $AAPL
tstock aapl -t 60min -b 24 # the past 24 60-minute-intervals (aka past day) of $AAPL
tstock aapl -t 60min -b 24 -y 20 # same as above, but only 20 lines high
tstock btc # chart of the cryptocurrency $BTC
tstock btc -w # same as above, with rocket ships 🚀🚀🚀
tstock btc -c GBP # same as above, but in currency GBP
tstock usd/eur # chart of the price of USD in euros

Run tstock TICKER to get the 70 day chart of $TICKER. Use -b COUNT to specify the number of days back you want to pull. -t INTERVAL will specify the time interval of each candlestick. Use -y LINES to specify the length of the chart's y axis.

To get cryptocurrencies, use the -a crypto option. For example, tstock -a crypto BTC would fetch a price chart of Bitcoin.

You can get international markets by specifying a code after .. For example, to get SAIC Motor Corporation on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, run tstock 600104.SHH. Find more information on how to specify special tickers on AlphaVantage's docs: https://www.alphavantage.co/documentation
