Introduction

This is mostly an excuse to make a web service client, use a noSQL database, and potentially play with some new visualization tools. I admit some choices do not make sense for a stock ticker --- a noSQL database makes no sense with highly- structued, purely numerical data. I'm doing it to play with those techniques, and maybe see how well they work for this.

The motivations for a Justcoin stock ticker are simple:

  1. You must login to consult the rates
  2. Justcoin provides a simple API

The lame name is to avoid any name conflicts with ticker.

Requirements

Python, MongoDB.

Python is used to query the API, MongoDB stores the data, and Flask (python web framework) provides the web frontend.

Installation

Deploy the usual way for a Flask app.
