Stocks with Python

pleasantencounter — Thu, 04 Jun 2020 22:34:22 +0000

Intro

This application pulls live stock data in json format then parses the data accordingly. It requires an API key which can be requested at this link https://www.alphavantage.co/support/#api-key.

Installation

In order to run this program, package alpha-vatange is required. Install the package on your localhost or virtual environment using:

pip install alpha_vantage

API Key

This portion of the code initializes the API key. The user is also required to specify the stocks in a list format.

apiKey = os.getenv('STOCK_API')
stock_sym = ['GOOGL','FB']
ts = TimeSeries(apiKey)

Weekday

This function is responsible for determining the day of the week. If the end user runs the program during the weekend, data from Friday will be displayed.

def weekday():
    today_date = date.today()
    weekday = today_date.weekday()

    if weekday <= 4:
        return today_date
    elif weekday == 5 : 
        return datetime.strftime(datetime.now() - timedelta(1), '%Y-%m-%d')
    else: 
        return datetime.strftime(datetime.now() - timedelta(2), '%Y-%m-%d')

Stock Data

An API call is made to alpha vantage in this function, and the result is stored in a list.

def vatage_stock_data(date):
    vantage_data = []
    local_stock_list = []

    for symbol in stock_sym:
        symbol, meta = ts.get_daily(symbol=f'{symbol}')
        vantage_data.append(symbol[f'{date}'])

    for line,name in zip(vantage_data,stock_sym):
        new_dict={f'{name}':line}
        local_stock_list.append(new_dict)

    return local_stock_list

Parse Data

The stock list retrieved via the API call is parsed in this function. This function displays stock analytics that can be easily modified. I chose to display the daily open, close, high, and close.

def stock_open(list):
    for i in range(len(list)):
        for symbol,value in list[i].items():
            print("OPEN",symbol,value['1. open'],sep="-")
    print("\n")

def stock_high(list):
    for i in range(len(list)):
        for symbol,value in list[i].items():
            print("HIGH",symbol,value['2. high'],sep="-")
    print("\n")

def stock_low(list):
    for i in range(len(list)):
        for symbol,value in list[i].items():
            print("LOW",symbol,value['3. low'],sep=":")
    print("\n")

def stock_close(list):
    for i in range(len(list)):
        for symbol,value in list[i].items():
            print("ClOSE",symbol,value['4. close'],sep="-")
    print("\n")

Tic Tac Toe with Python!

Project Info

This is my first post on this platform, and I'm excited to share my simple program with this awesome community. The last couple of days I've been working on a Tic Tac Toe game, which I attempted to build a few months ago when I was fresh to python. Needless to say I failed.

I've been working with python for about 6 months, and it's been a blast. Feel free to review the code below and provide any feedback.
