StockStack

UPDATE: This project no longer works, as it relies on the Yahoo! Finance Historical Data API, which was decomissioned in July 2021

This was created as a final project for my Web Applications Programming class (CS1520.) I led my team in creating a stock portfolio website that allows users to lookup stocks and create and track their own portfolio. This was implemented with a Flask backend, GCP datastore database, and HTML/CSS/JS.

Demos

~~I deployed this app on GCP AppEngine, check it out here!~~ This app has been removed, as it does not function without the Yahoo Finance historical data API

Things I thought were cool to implement

Async loading of tickers on homepage

User portfolio and removing from portfolio

Adding to user portfolio

Installation

Please install Docker

Usage - Docker

You must copy the GCP key to as deploy/GCP_ds_key.json before running serve.sh
To run the flask server, run this from the root directory

./serve.sh

Then navigate to http://localhost:8080

To install new requirements or fresh build, run it like this

./serve.sh fresh

Use without docker

cd src
export GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS=/path/to/cs1520-stockstack-747fd526bb24.json
python3 main.py

Pages are lazy loaded so any file can be modified while the server is running, besides main.py. If you edit main.py just cntl+c serve.sh and run it again.
