Follow this article to get your credentials.

Running Scripts

Go to src/ directory.
Create a praw.ini file with the following

[ClientSecrets]
client_id=<your client id>
client_secret=<your client secret>
user_agent=<your user agent>

Note that the title of this section, ClientSecrets, is important because ticker_counts.py will specifically look for that title in the praw.ini file.

Install required modules using pip install -r requirements.txt
Run ticker_count.py first
Now run yfinance_analysis.py
You will be able to find your results in data/ directory.
