STOCK-TEST

This is a beginning script that creates a table for Proof Of Concept.

This is written with powershell, so that the object $Stock_Table can be edited from commandline for testing. The final version will be a C# (.NET) application, hopefully with a GUI to assist.

DATA

The stocks currently used are listed in ".\code\stocks.ps1". I am currently using all stocks within Nasdaq 100 as initial dataset for POC.

TODO

Create mutliple threads to gather each stock, so that it can be done much faster. However, you only need to do it once, and then will run again if the last time it has gathered data > 24 hours. All stock data is saved under each ticker in the "stats" folder (is created). Everytime you restart the program- It will load the saved data rather than contact the sites.

Setup

Edit config.json with your subscription key:

https://rapidapi.com/apidojo/api/yahoo-finance1

Then create a subscription. This will generate an api key. Add that key from the code snippet to config.json. It is best that each user has there own key, as there is a limitation on the number of times we can contact site for data (free is 500).
