Yahoo Finance Alerts

About

Pretty straight-forward script at the moment.
This script will get some data from Yahoo Finance and send out alerts if prices are particularly low.
You can modify the logic to do whatever you want though. Have fun.

Setup

Rename fake_settings.json to settings.json. This will make sure your credentials are ignored by git.

If you're using a Gmail account, you should be able to adjust the fake_settings.json file pretty easily.
If you aren't using a Gmail account, you'll need to make more modifications. Google how smtplib works or just make a Gmail account. Haha!

Usage

Actually I don't know how to make this run on a schedule yet lol
